Some aspects of the orbit sizes in adults

Abstract

Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. The orbit is compared with irregular tetrahedral pyramid. In the literature there are data concerning anthropological forms of the orbit, vertical and transversal sizes of the orbit inlet foramen. Nevertheless, we have insufficient information about longitudinal sizes of orbital walls, depth of the orbit and dimensional position of inlet orbital foramen edges. Moreover, there are contradictions upon some data about orbit sizes measurements. Comparative anatomical study using in medical craniology allows to detail an individual variety of orbit morphology with regard to structural typology of the skull and interpret the results of different medical tests more accurately.
