“…Principal contents of the orbits include the eyeballs, extraocular muscles, orbital fat, nerves and blood supply, and lacrimal glands. Variation is evident in the size and morphology of the orbital apertures, as well as in the shape of the cavities, the foramina and grooves within them, and the individual bones of which the orbits are comprised (Adachi, 1904b;Pan, 1933;Woo, 1937-38;Schultz, 1940;Ray, 1955;Riesenfeld, 1956;Kier, 1966;Post, 1969;Ossenberg, 1970;Warwick, 1976) The growth of the eyes follows the rapid pattern of neural growth, although slower than the brain, and this is reflected in the relatively large size of the orbits in infants and children (Todd et al, 1940;Moore and Lavelle, 1974). Up until the expansion of the maxilla which accompanies the development of the permanent dentition, the orbits dominate the facial skeleton.…”
