“…The observed parameters of the orbital height and width had a tendency to be higher on the right side, leading to the higher values of the left orbital index (right: 87.75 ± 7.2, left: 90.6 ± 6.8; p = 0.0135, t test). This is in accordance with the earlier findings and widely accepted theory that the skull and the face right/left asymmetry with higher values of the right orbital measures are the consequence of the brain asymmetry and the dominance of the left hemisphere (11,23). Interestingly, the right orbital index falls well within mesoseme category, typical for the European and Caucasian race (23), whereas the left orbits were at the lower end of megaseme category (1,13,16,17).…”

“…This appears to be a constant feature of the human race, in congruence with other body measures that are larger in men (18). The results of our study also confirmed the earlier findings in variation of orbital dimensions between the left and right side (13,23). The observed parameters of the orbital height and width had a tendency to be higher on the right side, leading to the higher values of the left orbital index (right: 87.75 ± 7.2, left: 90.6 ± 6.8; p = 0.0135, t test).…”

Orbital measures are not only important parameters in planning ophthalmologic and aesthetic surgical procedures, but also significant anthropology and forensic medicine markers. Using computer tomography and subsequent multiplanar reconstruction we analyzed orbits from 75 Serbian healthy volunteers, examined in the Clinical Hospital of Kragujevac. The subjects were subclassified in age categories, namely 24-39, 40-59, 60-69 and 70-85 years of age, as well as by genders. Taken as a whole population, regardless of age, women had smaller orbital height and width and smaller volumes than men, but similar orbital indices, thus proving once again the importance of the orbital index for comparisons. Additionally, both biorbital and interorbital distances were higher in men than in women. Comparing age groups, biorbital and interorbital distances increased with aging in males, but remained constant in females. The opposite was true for orbital indices which increased significantly with age in females, but remained constant in males. Taken together, our results indicate the presence of age- and gender-related differences in orbital measures within ethnically and geographically homogenous population. It would be interesting to examine subjects from other regions to confirm the patterns reported here.

“…According to the values of orbital indices (right 86.5 ± 7.2 and left 90.2 ± 6.8), we could conclude that the right orbits in Serbs could be placed in mesoseme category, typical for the European and Caucasian race [24], whereas the left orbits are megaseme. Similar to the data from the Polish population [26], Serbian females had higher orbital indices (right: 90.02 and left: 91.09), which could be classified as megaseme, in comparison to the orbital indices of Serbian males. In both sexes, orbital index had tendency towards higher values on the left side, which was in males significant (p = 0.012, t-test).…”

Differences in anthropometric measures of the orbit between Serbian and Roma populations of the Central Serbia

et al. 2022

Introduction/Objectives. The shape and size of the orbital cavity are important parameters in planning surgical interventions and have significance in anthropology and forensic medicine. The aim of this study was to determine the morphometric characteristics of orbital cavity in Serbian population and to examine if there are differences in examined parameters between Serbs and the Roma ethnic group of Serbia. Methods. Using computer tomography and subsequent multiplanar reconstruction we analyzed orbits from 76 Serbian and 18 Roma healthy volunteers. There was no significant difference in age between the ethnicities. Results. The height and width of the left orbit and the height of the right orbit were significantly higher in Roma group, whereas the width of the right orbit was not statistically different between ethnicities. Orbital indices, however, for both left and right orbit did not significantly differ between Serbian and Roma examinees. Right orbital volume did not differ between the groups, but left orbits had significantly larger volumes in Roma population. Finally, biorbital and interorbital width were both significantly higher in Roma than in Serbian examinees. We could not show differences between sexes except for the biorbital width, which had lower values in Serbian, but not Roma women than in men. Conclusion. Taken together, our results indicate larger orbits, as well as greater distances between the eyes in Roma than in Serbian examinees.

“…Para a cavidade orbital esquerda, o formato romboide, seguido pelo retangular e pelo circular foram mais frequentes. Os resultados obtidos acerca da variabilidade dos tipos das cavidades orbitais, considerando-se a antimeria, vão ao encontro das observações de Lepich et al (2017), que verificaram que a morfologia da órbita direita era distinta da esquerda, atribuindo essa diferença à assimetria facial natural do ser humano.…”

Sex estimation was analyzed from the orbital cavities of 304 dry skulls (148 female and 156 male), which were classified as rectangular, circular, and rhomboid. Logistic regression was performed to estimate the probability of the orbital cavity belonging to males or females. In decreasing order, there was a higher occurrence of rectangular, rhomboid, and circular shapes. The estimation of sex resulted in an overall percentage of correctness of 59.9%. The left orbital cavity presented a significant p-value, but the chance of the characteristics of this orbital cavity being considered as predictors for sex was only 0.64 times higher. The morphology of the orbital cavity can provide information for the elaboration of the biological profile. However, studies are still needed to allow the possible use of its anatomy to estimate sex in the Brazilian population.
