title: Periocular and orbital anatomy.
abstract: Both classic descriptions and new findings in human anatomy have been limited in the past to cadaveric dissections. Although dissection still supplies most of new information, refinements in technique and the advent of high-resolution soft tissue imaging available with magnetic resonance have certainly provided a new perspective on our understanding of anatomy. In this review, the most recent descriptions of periocular and orbital anatomy will be discussed, along with comments on their clinical implications.
