Morphometric Study of Orbitary and Periorbitary Region in Peruvian Skulls: Importance to Surgical Approach
Author(s): Saenz-Poma Gustavo, Chavez-Asmat Roberto Jesus*, Anampa-Guzman Andrea and Shiroma-Castro Julio
Background: The orbit is a conical structure where lies the elements that allow vision. The volume of the orbit and the distances between its reference points vary depending on race and sex, so there are different values determined around the world. Methods: Sixty adult human dried skulls from the collection of the Department of Morphological Sciences, San Marcos, Lima-Peru; were used in the present study, on request and authorization. The orbital and periorbital region were measured bilaterally using Digital Vernier Caliper “Onogal”® and the volume of orbit was determined in ml, using a modified method of displaced volume. Results: Significantly lower values were found in the medial wall from the left eye (Student's T-test, p=0.01), specifically in the distance from the Anterior Lacrimal Crest (ALC) to the Anterio..
