Optic canal is formed by two roots of lesserwing and body of sphenoid bone. It transmits optic nerve, ophthalmic artery and periarterial sympathetic plexus. During demonstration classes for undergraduate students we observed optic canal of left orbit of the adult skull, showing a thin spicule of bone which divided optic canal into two. Unilateral presence of duplicated optic canal is very rare. This case report may be useful for surgeons and radiologists.
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.
