title: [Orbita - anatomy, development and deformities].
abstract: The development of the structures of the human orbita is very complex, but understanding the development makes it easier to understand normal anatomy and dysplasia. The following article first discusses the embryonic development of the eye structures and then presents the "normal" radiological anatomy using different investigation techniques and the most common deformities.
