Periorbital Sinuses the Periorbital Sinuses Have a Close Anatomical Relationship with the Orbits (Fig 1-8) 12 ● Fundamentals and Principles of Ophthalmology Lacrimal nerve Frontal nerve Trochlear nerve (CN IV) Superior ophthalmic vein Superior division Ophthalmic artery of CN III Nasociliary nerve Abducens nerve (CN VI) Inferior division of CN III Inferior ophthalmic vein A Figure 1-7 A, Anterior view of the right orbital apex showing the distribution of the nerves as they enter through the superior orbital fissure and optic canal. This view also shows the annu- lus of Zinn, the fibrous ring formed by the origin of the 4 rectus muscles. (Continued) The course of the inferior ophthalmic vein is variable, and it can travel within or below the ring as it exits the orbit. The inferior orbital fissure lies just below the superior fissure, between the lateral wall and the floor of the orbit, providing access to the pterygopalatine and inferotemporal fos- sae (see Fig 1-1). Therefore, it is close to the foramen rotundum and the pterygoid canal. The inferior orbital fissure transmits the infraorbital and zygomatic branches of CN V2, an orbital nerve from the pterygopalatine ganglion, and the inferior ophthalmic vein. The inferior ophthalmic vein connects with the pterygoid plexus before draining into the cav- ernous sinus. Periorbital Sinuses The periorbital sinuses have a close anatomical relationship with the orbits (Fig 1-8). The medial walls of the orbits, which border the nasal cavity anteriorly and the ethmoid sinus and sphenoid sinus posteriorly, are almost parallel. In adults, the lateral wall of each orbit forms an angle of approximately 45° with the medial plane. The lateral walls border the middle cranial, temporal, and pterygopalatine fossae. Superior to the orbit are the anterior cranial fossa and the frontal sinus. The maxillary sinus and the palatine air cells are located inferiorly.

  • MR Imaging of the Orbital Apex

Space-occupying lesions in this area can result in clinical d- eficits caused by compression of the optic nerve or extraocular muscles. Even vas c u l a r changes in the cavernous sinus can produce a direct mass effect and affect the orbit ap e x. When pathologic changes in this region is suspected, contrast-enhanced MR imaging with fat saturation is very useful. According to the anatomic regions from which the lesions arise, they can be classi- fied as belonging to one of five groups; lesions of the optic nerve-sheath complex, of the conal and intraconal spaces, of the extraconal space and bony orbit, of the cav- ernous sinus or diffuse. The characteristic MR findings of various orbital lesions will be described in this paper.

  • Anatomy-Nerve Tracking
    INJECTABLES ANATOMY www.aestheticmed.co.uk Nerve tracking Dr Sotirios Foutsizoglou on the anatomy of the facial nerve he anatomy of the human face has received enormous attention during the last few years, as a plethora of anti- ageing procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, are being performed with increasing frequency. The success of each of those procedures is greatly dependent on Tthe sound knowledge of the underlying facial anatomy and the understanding of the age-related changes occurring in the facial skeleton, ligaments, muscles, facial fat compartments, and skin. The facial nerve is the most important motor nerve of the face as it is the sole motor supply to all the muscles of facial expression and other muscles derived from the mesenchyme in the embryonic second pharyngeal arch.1 The danger zone for facial nerve injury has been well described. Confidence when approaching the nerve and its branches comes from an understanding of its three dimensional course relative to the layered facial soft tissue and being aware of surface anatomy landmarks and measurements as will be discussed in this article. Aesthetic medicine is not static, it is ever evolving and new exciting knowledge emerges every day unmasking the relationship of the ageing process and the macroscopic and microscopic (intrinsic) age-related changes. Sound anatomical knowledge, taking into consideration the natural balance between the different facial structures and facial layers, is fundamental to understanding these changes which will subsequently help us develop more effective, natural, long-standing and most importantly, safer rejuvenating treatments and procedures. The soft tissue of the face is arranged in five layers: 1) Skin; 2) Subcutaneous fat layer; 3) Superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS); 4) Areolar tissue or loose connective tissue (most clearly seen in the scalp and forehead); 5) Deep fascia formed by the periosteum of facial bones and the fascial covering of the muscles of mastication (lateral face).

Oskouian 3 , R. Shane Tubbs 4 1. Seattle Science Foundation 2. Department of Anatomy, Kurume University School of Medicine 3. Neurosurgery, Complex Spine, Swedish Neuroscience Institute 4. Neurosurgery, Seattle Science Foundation Corresponding author: Charlotte Wilson, [email protected] Abstract The location of the opening of the zygomaticotemporal branch (ZTb) of the zygomatic nerve inside the orbit (ZTFIN) has significant surgical implications. This study was conducted to locate the ZTFIN and investigate the variations of the ZTb inside the orbit. A total of 20 sides from 10 fresh frozen cadaveric Caucasian heads were used in this study. The vertical distance between the inferior margin of the orbit and ZTFIN (V-ZTFIN), the horizontal distance between the lateral margin of the orbit and ZTFIN (H-ZTFIN), and the diameter of the ZTFIN (D-ZTFIN) were measured. The patterns of the ZTb inside the orbit were classified into five different groups: both ZTb and LN innervating the lacrimal gland independently (Group A), both ZTb and LN innervating the lacrimal gland with a communicating branch (Group B), ZTb joining the LN without a branch to the lacrimal gland (Group C), the ZTb going outside the orbit through ZTFIN without a branch to the lacrimal gland nor LN (Group D), and absence of the ZTb (Group E). The D-ZTFIN V-ZTFIN H-ZTFIN ranged from 0.2 to 1.1 mm, 6.6 to 21.5 mm, 2.0 to 11.3 mm, respectively.

    د.احمد فاضل القيسي Lecture 7 Anatomy THE PTERYGOPALATINE FOSSA The pterygopalatine fossa lies beneath the posterior surface of the maxilla and the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone. The pterygopalatine fossa contains the maxillary nerve, the maxillary artery (third part) and the pterygopalatine parasympathetic ganglion. Boundaries Anteriorly: posterior surface of maxilla. Posteriorly: anterior margin of pterygoid process below and greater wing of sphenoid above. Medially: perpendicular plate of palatine bone. Superiorly: greater wing of sphenoid. Laterally: communicates with infratemporal fossa through pterygomaxillary fissure Communications and openings: 1. The pterygomaxillary fissure: transmits the maxillary artery from the infratemporal fossa, the posterior superior alveolar branches of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve and the sphenopalatine veins. 2. The inferior orbital fissure: transmits the infraorbital and zygomatic branches of the maxillary nerve, the orbital branches of the pterygopalatine ganglion and the infraorbital vessels. 3. The foramen rotundum from the middle cranial fossa, occupying the greater wing of the sphenoid bone and transmit the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve 4. The pterygoid canal from the region of the foramen lacerum at the base of the skull. The pterygoid canal transmits the greater petrosal and deep petrosal nerves (which combine to form the nerve of the pterygoid canal) and an accompanying artery derived from the maxillary artery. 5. The sphenopalatine foramen lying high up on the medial wall of the fossa.This foramen communicates with the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. It transmits the nasopalatine and posterior superior nasal nerves (from the pterygopalatine ganglion) and the sphenopalatine vessels. 6. The opening of a palatine canal found at the base of the fossa.
