Abstract
Cranium and its morphometry should be well known by many physicians, especially those working on the fields such as anatomy, forensic medicine, neurosurgery and ophtalmology. The orbita is a pit containing the eye, located in the front of the head and just below the frontal bone. In addition to the eye, which is an important organ, the muscles, glands, vessels, nerves and neighboring vital structures reveal the necessity of full knowledge of the orbital morphometry. Due to the structure of the Orbita, which may vary depending on race, age and gender, serious differences may occur between individuals. Previous studies have shown that orbital measurement results are also compatible in geographically close regions. Therefore, it is critical for physicians and researchers who will work on the orbita to know the morphometric data in their geographic region in order to carry out the operations and researches more accurately. Orbital height (OH), orbital breadth (OB) and orbital index (OI), which are proven to be valuable in many previous scientific studies, have been measured in this study. We obtained the data mentioned in this study by measuring 24 dry skulls in Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Eskişehir Osmangazi University. We aimed to provide a broad perspective to physicians / researchers by comparing our data with the measurement results obtained from similar national and international studies.
