    Study Notes

    Anatomy of the Orbit

    • The orbits are bony cavities that house and protect the eyes.
    • Each orbit is made up of seven craniofacial bones:
      • Frontal
      • Lacrimal
      • Ethmoid
      • Maxilla
      • Zygomatic
      • Sphenoid
      • Palatine

    Orbital Fractures

    • Orbital fractures can lead to serious complications affecting the eyes.
    • Two primary types of orbital fractures are:
      • Floor fractures: Injuries affecting the bottom part of the orbit.
      • Orbital blowouts: Occur when force causes the thin bones in the orbit to fracture, often resulting in herniation of orbital contents.
