Abstract
Background:Orbits are four-sided pyramidal cavities, with its base opens into the face. It has four borders, frontal bone forms the superior margin, maxilla and zygomatic forms the inferior margin, inferior margin is formed by maxillary and zygoma and lateral border is formed by zygoma and frontal bone. Orbit apex is approximated by the medial end of superior orbital fissure.Orbits are four-sided pyramidal cavities, with its base opens into the face. It has four borders, frontal bone forms the superior margin, maxilla and zygomatic forms the inferior margin, inferior margin is formed by maxillary and zygoma and lateral border is formed by zygoma and frontal bone. Orbit apex is approximated by the medial end of superior orbital fissure.Objectives: Orbital morphometry is an important consideration during surgical procedures such as reconstructive surgeries, maxillofacial and ophthalmic surgeries.The objectives of this study are, to measure the following dimensions of orbit in skulls as well as in CT scan images:Shape of the orbital rim, Perimeter of the orbital rim (Pm), Height of the orbit (Ht), Breadth of the orbit (Br), Orbital index (Ht / Br x100), Length of lateral wall, medial wall, roof and floor, Intra-orbital distance, Extra-orbital distance
