[Surface of the floor of the anterior cranial fossa and orbital roof as well as angles and measurements of the orbits].
With the aid of diagraphic drawings the floor-space of the anterior cranial fossa and of that orbital roof area of adults which is adjacent to the floor of the anterior cranial fossa (separated by the paranasal sinuses) were investigated. On the right side there is a mean of 730 mm2 and on the left side 717 mm2. The paries medialis orbitae on the right side runs by about 1 degree more to the rostral and medial side as left. The angle on the right side between frontomolare orbitale , the lateral end of the fissura orbitalis superior and the mediansagittal plane is somewhat bigger (35 degrees) than on the left side (33.9 degrees). Different angles inside the orbita, the extension of the orbita behind the frontozygomatic suture, the depth of the orbita, right-left-differences of the apertura orbitae canalis optici and the greater retardation of the laterally border of the orbita on the right side were investigated. The medical importance for neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists is demonstrated.
