    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Supernumerary ossicles are rare anatomical variations. In a study of 1,276 Indian skulls, the os orbitale, a supernumerary ossicle, was found in only 0.8% of cases in the orbit roof.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Anthropology
    • Osteology

    Background:

    • Supernumerary ossicles are uncommon bone formations.
    • Their incidence varies across populations and anatomical locations.
    • The orbit is a complex anatomical structure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of supernumerary ossicles in the orbit.
    • To identify any specific ossicles present in the orbital roof.
    • To document findings in an adult Indian population.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of 1,276 adult Indian skulls.
    • Direct observation through the orbit.
    • Identification and documentation of any supernumerary ossicles found.

    Main Results:

    • A single instance of a supernumerary ossicle was detected.
    • The ossicle was located in the orbital roof.
    • The incidence of this specific ossicle (os orbitale) was 0.8%.

    Conclusions:

    • The os orbitale is a rare supernumerary ossicle.
    • Its occurrence in the orbital roof is exceptionally low in the studied population.
    • This finding contributes to the understanding of orbital anatomical variations.
