Osseous anatomy of the orbital apex

The osseous anatomy of the orbital apex may be difficult to conceptualize because of the different shapes and orientations of the optic canal, superior and inferior orbital fissures, and foramen rotundum. However, knowing this anatomy is crucial to evaluate complex fractures, tumors, and inflammator...
