Summary: | [...]to avoid unwanted injuries of the trochlea of the superior oblique in surgery of the superomedial angle of the orbit, the surgeon should be aware of its precise position. [...]we could analyze 125 orbits as three orbits were spoiled and could not be used for our purposes. Statistical analysis (Student's t-test) was carried out to verify if the presence of the trochlear fovea/spine could be referred to a population with an average age significantly different from the average age of the skull population. [...]if the trochlear spines in female orbits were closer to the orbital rim than in male orbits, either the eye should be also more bulging from the orbital opening or the trochlear angle should be narrower (Fig. 4). |
