Abstract
The orbit is very frequently damaged by traumas which results in not only with bone deficits, but also with functional deformities if reconstruction is not appropriate. Anatomical exposure of the bony orbit is of importance for both anatomists and surgeons who perform operation on this area. The current study evaluated the group of morphometrical parameters on 74 adult West Anatolian dry skulls and stereological surface area on the dry skull orbits while describing the clinical importance. Surface area on the orbital base of the skulls were also evaluated using stereological method, bilaterally. Anthropological assesment of orbital base (in terms of width and height) revealed no significant difference between right and left sides. Both width and height of the optic foramen were significantly higher in right sides compared to left. The distances between the margins (medial, lateral, superior, inferior) of the orbital base and the optic foramen were longer in right sides compared to left, except the distances between the lateral margins. There was no significant difference among the subjects between right and left sides with respect to the orbital base in terms of stereological area calculation. The results are significant because there are no recorded anatomical data on West Anatolian skulls at previous researches.
