We are fortunately seeing interest growing in this subspecialty, which in the past was almost abandoned by the majority of ophthalmologists. Recent advances and the growing interest in this area are factors that have stimulated the writing of this work. Ophthalmologists commencing orbit and oculoplastic surgery commonly nd the anatomy of the eyelids, lacrimal drainage system and orbit dicult, even though they may know the theory well. e rst part of this manual presents the relevant anatomy and clinical examination to help readers to acquire detailed knowledge so that they can start the learning process in this eld. e other three parts have been written with the intention of providing a complete approach to the diagnosis and management of patients with oculoplastic, orbital and lacrimal problems. is book also contains a great many illustrations,

  • Anatomical Study of the Zygomaticotemporal Branch Inside the Orbit
    Open Access Original Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.1727 Anatomical Study of the Zygomaticotemporal Branch Inside the Orbit Joe Iwanaga 1 , Charlotte Wilson 1 , Koichi Watanabe 2 , Rod J. 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.

Abstract Most of the patients in our daily practice have one or more ocular surface disorders including conjunctivitis, keratitis, dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, contact lens related symptoms, refractive errors, computer vision syndrome. Lacrimal gland has an important role in all above mentioned pathologies due to its major secretory product. An anatomical and physi- ological knowledge about lacrimal gland is a must in understanding basic and common ophthalmological cases.
