Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This study analyzed the infraorbital canal, groove, and foramen in the Indian population using CT scans. Findings reveal anatomical variations crucial for improving surgical and anesthetic procedures.
Area Of Science
- Anatomy
- Medical Imaging
- Anthropology
Background
- The infraorbital canal, groove, and foramen are critical anatomical structures.
- Understanding their variations is essential for safe surgical and anesthetic procedures.
- Previous studies have shown population-specific differences in these anatomical landmarks.
Purpose Of The Study
- To analyze and assess the anatomical variability of the infraorbital canal, groove, and foramen.
- To provide precise measurements of these structures in the Indian population.
- To establish a baseline for comparison with other ethnic groups.
Main Methods
- Utilized 100 high-resolution CT scans (200 hemi-faces) from the Indian population.
- Employed Mimics software for 3D reconstruction and analysis.
- Evaluated seven parameters of the infraorbital foramen (IOF), infraorbital groove (IOG), and infraorbital canal (IOC).
Main Results
- Average IOC length: 14.99 ± 6.25 mm; average IOG length: 15.25 ± 7.87 mm.
- Average IOF transverse diameter: 2.02 ± 0.48 mm.
- Provided mean distances from IOF to infraorbital margin and IOC to orbital walls.
Conclusions
- Significant anatomical variations in the infraorbital apparatus exist within the Indian population.
- This data offers valuable insights for surgical planning and risk mitigation.
- Enhances understanding for operative and anesthetic procedures involving the infraorbital region.

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
