ANATOMY  OF  ORBIT  Rajvin  Samuel  Ponraj
Development  of  orbit Develops  from  mesenchyme  by ossification 6 th to 7 th week  laying down of bones  starting with maxilla bone  around the Optic  vesicle  During this time  optic vesicle  170 degree apart  rotates  anteriorly
Developmental  Anomalies : Craniosynosotosis : Brachycephaly Oxycephaly Scophocephaly Trigonocephaly
Craniosfacial  dysostois / Crouzon’ syndrome Proptosis – shallow   orbits Hypertelorim  -  wide separation  of orbits V  pattern  exotropia
Oxycephaly-syndactlye / Apert’ syndrome : Flattened  occiput  ,  steep forehead , supra orbital  ridge Midfacial  hypoplasia  , parrot beak  nose
Bones  of  Orbit Frontal  Ethmoid  Sphenoid Lacrimal  Palatine Maxillary  Zygomatic
Dimensions - orbit 30  ml –volume 35 mm  vertically , 40 mm horizontally 45  degree  between  lateral  wall and sagital plane 23 degree  between  visual  and orbital axis
Boundaries  of Orbit Roof  Floor Side walls Orbital  apex
Roof  of  orbit Frontal bone [Orbital plate]  &  lesser wing of sphenoid Separated from frontal sinus  and  anterior cranial fossa above Lacrimal  gland fossa  and  trochlear  fossa behind  orbital rim
Orbital  roof  anomaly /  fracture CSF  pulsation  pulsatile  exophthalmos Orbital  meningocele / encephalocele
Medial  wall Body of  sphenoid Ethmoid Lacrimal Maxilla[frontal  process]
Orbital  cellulitis Extremely  thin wall  Prone  for  damage  &  sinusitis  spread Infection  across  Orbital  cellulitis
Floor  of orbit Maxilla Zygomatic Palatine Triangular  segment -- thinnest Inferior  orbital groove
Blow out fractures Fragile barrier  to maxillary sinus Due to trauma eyeball collapse  into  Maxillary sinus
Le  fort’s  fracture Type  2  - Pyramidal Type  3  -  Craniofacial  dissociation
Lateral  wall Greater wing –sphenoid Orbital surface – Frontal process of zygomatic Inferiorly – inf orbital fissure Medially – sup orbital fissure
Behind  Zygomatic  sphenoidal  suture lateral  orbitotomy of  greater wing  ( thin wall )  cancellous  bone  middle cranial fossa dura matter
At frontal  sphenoidal  suture -- meningeal  foramen  Site of anastomosis  of Lacrimal artery and  meningeal  artery collaterals Periosteal  elevation  at this site  Brisk bleeding
Orbital  apex
Orbital  apex  syndrome /  Tolosa -  hunt  syndrome : Damage to structures at apex  2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th ,6 th nerves Symptoms : visual loss, ophthalmoplegia periorbital &  facial  pain
Other causes: Inflammatory Infectious Neoplastic Iatrogenic /  traumatic Vascular
Superior  orbital  fissure syndrome  /  Rochon – Duvigneaud  syndrome : Lesion  anterior  to orbital apex  excluding optic nerve pathology
Contents of  orbit Eye ball Orbital fat Connective tissue system Blood vessels Nerves Extraocular muscles
Eyeball  -  Applied anatomy: Proptosis : Dystopia Enophthalmosis Ophthalmoplegia
Connective  tissue system Periorbita Orbital  septum Tenon’s  capsule
Periorbita : Loosely attached to  orbital bone Attached firmly  to Arcus marginalis Trochlea Lateral orbital tubercle Optic foramen Orbital fissures Dura and optic canal margins

Anterior  fascial system  Formed  by condensation of  fibrous septa Lockwood lig,  whitnall sup susp lig  Lacrimal lig Intermuscular septum Posterior  Fascial  system  Incompletely formed
Tenon’s  capsule Dense  elastic , vascular Extent :  from  perilimbal  sclera  to optic nerve meninges with bursa  within Sleeve like  extensions for  extra  ocular  muscles  continues as  fibrous  capsule  along its length
