Radiography of the Orbits
Ballinger & Frank, 1999, pg 291
Function of Orbits

Serve as bony sockets for the eyeballs

Openings for nerves and blood vessels
Division of the Orbits

Roof


Floor




Primarily composed of -orbital plate of frontal bone
Zygoma (small amount)
Maxilla
Palatine
Two Walls

Medial


Lacrimal
Lateral

Zygoma (large amount)
Bones of the Orbits - 7
Base of the Orbit




or circular base
Made of 3 bones

Frontal (cranial bone)



Maxilla ( facial bone)


Orbital plate
Forms most of the roof
Helps form the floor
Zygoma (facial bone)

Forms part of the lateral
wall and some of the floor


Auto accidents




Blow to the eye
Orbital floor is
fractured
Soft tissue herniates
into maxillary sinuses
Often have ocular
injury



Direct blow to
zygoma
Visual concave
abnormalities
Usually orbits are
involved

LeFort Fractures

Type 3

Separation of mid third of
face at
zygomaticotemporal, nasofrontal sutures, and across
orbital floors
