The orbit is the bony socket of the eye encloses and protects the eye and its appendages. The configuration of the bony structure of the orbit is that of a pyramid with its base facing anteriorly, with each orbit having an intrabony volume of approximately 35 ml. Each bony orbit is composed of seven bones (frontal bone, zygomatic bone, maxilla bone, lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone and palatine bone) (Fonseca, 2013). In craniomaxillofacial trauma orbital structures are involved in up to 40% of the cases due to its exposed position and its limited bone thickness (Hoffmann et al., 1998).

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
