Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the localization,
mean length, mean diameter and also the shape of the superior
orbital fissure (SOF) on skulls and to find out the distances
between the structure and neighbouring anatomical bony landmarks. We also applied stereological assessment method for estimating the surface area of SOF.
Methods: This study was performed on the craniums of 50
(100 sides) West Anatolian adult subjects. Morphometric
measurements of the SOF were taken from the skulls using a
Vernier caliper accurate 0.01 mm. A uniform point-grid with a
point associated area of 0.25 cm2 was randomly superimposed
on each SOF of dry skull. The results were evaluated statistically with SPSS 22.0.
Results: Distance between SOF and foramen lacerum; the distance between SOF and foramen spinosum and distance
between SOF and the neigbourhood structures such as foramen rotundum, foramen ovale were evaluated. Evaluations
have already been carried on.
Conclusion: The localization of the fissure, the mean lenght
and the mean diameter of SOF and the distances between the
fissure and anatomical bony landmarks are of importance during neurosurgical interventions.
