What is Surgical Anatomy of the Orbit, Including the Intraconal Space about?

The orbits are two cavities, which are located symmetrically on either side of the sagittal plane at the root of the nose, surrounding the organs of vision. Each orbit is bounded by four bony walls that provide different pathways and render it accessible via different surgical approaches. This chapter reviews the anatomy of the orbit from a surgical perspective, mainly focusing on the skeletal and soft-tissue architecture. Because of its location at the junction of different anatomic regions, it is intimately related to the paranasal sinuses and the anterior and middle cranial fossae. It is at the interface of a range of specialties, such as ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, and neurosurgery. Apart from the globe, orbital fat, and extraocular muscles, it contains many important neurovascular structures. Its rather small volume, irregular shape, and location embedded in the craniofacial structures make operating in the orbit challenging. A thorough understanding of the orbital anatomy is essential to fully appreciate the effects of disease on the orbit and performing safe orbital surgery.
