Localization and Morphometric Study of Supraorbital Foramen in Adult Human Dry Skulls
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Supraorbital foramen is considered as an important landmark for various surgical and anesthetic procedures. Exact positioning of the foramen with respect to adjacent anatomical landmarks avoids damage to the neurovascular structures passing through them. Thirty one adult skulls were examined on both sides for the position of supraorbital foramen and its dimensions were observed and tabulated. The mean distance between the SOF/SON and the nasal midline were observed to be 22.96 ± 2.17mm on the right side and 22.41 ± 1.98 mm over the left side. The mean height of SOF from the superior orbital rim on the right side was observed to be 2.42 ± 0.78 mm and 2.54 ± 1.04 mm over the left side. The mean vertical diameter of SOF on the right side were observed to be 2.08 ± 0.49 mm and 1.82 ± 0.41 mm over the left side .The mean transverse diameter of SOF on the right side was observed to be 4.69 ± 0.72mm on the right side and 4.55 ± 0.49mm over the left side.The exact position and the morphometric values of the supraorbital foramen guides the experts to mobilize and safeguard the neurovascular structures during various procedures. Keywords: Nasal midline, supraorbital foramen, supraorbital rim.
