ORBIT

Pyramidal bony cavities


on each side of the
roof of the nose

Sockets for the rotatory


movements of eyeballs

Protects eyeballs
Shape and Disposition
Each orbit resembles 4
sided pyramids
Apex: Post.end of the
orbit
Base: Orbital opening
on the face
4 Walls: Roof, Floor,Lat.
and medial wall
(Two medial wall are parallel
and lateral walls make on
right angle)
Roof

Concave from side to side


formed mainly by orbital
plate of frontal bone and
is completed posteriorly
by lesser wing of
sphenoidal bone.

Relations:

Named Features
Lateral walls

Thickest & strongest walls


of orbit.

Relations: Greater wings of


sphenoid separates orbit
from middle cranial
fossa
Zygomatic bone
separates from temporal
fossa.

Named features:
Floor

It slopes upward and medially


to join medial wall formed
by the orbital surface of
maxilla. Ant.lat post part of
orbital surface of
Zygomatic bone. At post.
Angle orbital plate of
palantine.

Relations: It separates orbit


from maxillary sinus
Medial wall

It is very thin. From back


the frontal process of
maxilla,lacrimal bone,
orbital plate of
ethmoid, body of
sphenoid are seen.

CONTENTS OF THE ORBIT
- Pyramidal cavities.
- Socket for voluntary movement of eyeballs
- Contents of orbits are
- Eye balls
- Fascia: Orbital and Bulbar
- Muscles: Extraocular
- Vessels: Opthalmic artery,Sup. Inf. Opthamlic
veins
L/N
- Nerves: II,III,IV & VI Cranial nerves, branches of
opthalmic nerve and sympathetic nerves

ORBITAL AND BULBAR FASCIA

Orbital Fascia or
Periorbita

- Perisoteum of the bony orbit


- Posteriorly cont. with dura
&
sheath of the optic nerve
- Anteriorly Cont. with
periosteum of orbital
marg.
Fascia Sheath or Bulbar Fascia

Tenon’s Capsule also known


as Bulbar Fascia: Separated
by the episcleral space. Eye
ball can freely move here.

Facial sheath is pierced by


the tendons of various
Extraocular muscles and
ciliary nerves and vessels.
Gives no. of expansions:
: covers each muscles
: 2 triangular expansions
Medial check ligament
Lateral check ligament
Lower part of Tenon’s capsule
is
thickened and named
suspensory
ligament of eye or suspensor
ligament of Lockwood. It is
expanded in the center like
Hammock.
Extraocular muscles
Voluntary muscles:
1) 4 recti muscles: sup.rectus, inf. Rectus
medial rectus, lateral rectus
2) 2 oblique muscles: sup. oblique, inf.
oblique
3) Levator palpabrae: elavates upper lids

Involuntary muscles
1) Sup. tarsal muscles: deeper portion of levator
palpabrae: elavates upper eye lids
2) Inferior tarsal muscles: depresses the lower eye
lids
3) Orbitalis bridges of the inf. Orbital fissure
Voluntary muscle’s origin
Insertion
Nerve supply
# Superior oblique is supplied by trochlear
nerve. (SO4)
# Lateral rectus is supplied by Abducent
nerve. (LR6)
# Remaining 5 extraocular muscles sup,inf
and medial recti,inf. oblique and levator
palpabrae superioris are supplied by
occulomotor nerve( III nerve)
Actions of the individual muscles
Single or pure movements are produced by
combined actions of muscles eg.
Upward rotation or Elevation SR and IO

Down ward rotation or IR and SO


depression

MR, SR and IR
Medial rotation or adduction

LR, SO and I0
Lateral rotation or abduction

Intortion
SO and SR

Extortion IO and IR
Combined movement of eyes
Normally, movements of the two eyes are
harminously coordinated and it is called
conjugate ocular movement.
Dissociation movements of the two eyes are called
dysjunctive movement.
Ant. Post movement of eyeballs are abnormal.
Vessels of the Orbit

Origin: is a branch of cerebral


part of ICA.
Branches: Central Retinal A.
1st branch of opthalmic a.
lies below the optic nerve
runs forward in the center
reach the optic disc. Here
it divides into branches for
retina.
(End artery, no anastamoses
occlusion of the artery
results blindness)
Branches arising from
Lacrimal artery are
1) Lacrimal gland
2) 2 Zygomatic branches
Zygomaticofacial
Zygomaticotemporal
3) Lat. Palpebral branch
supply the eyelids
4) Reccurent meningeal br.
to mid. fossa(sup.orb.fis)
5) Muscular branch supplies
muscles of orbit.
Branches arising from the
main trunk are.
1) Post long and short ciliary
arteries supply choroid
and iris
2) Supraorbital and
supratrochlear supply the
skin of the fore head
3) Ant. and post. Ethmoidal
artery supply the
Ethmoidal sinus.
4) Medial palpebral br.
Supply the eye lids
5) Dorsal nasal supply the
upper part of nose.
Opthalmic Vein

Sup. Opthalmic vein drains


into cavernous sinus.
Communcate anterorly
with the supraorbital
and angular veins.
Inf. Opthalmic vein drains into
cavernous sinus and
communi-cates with
pterygoid plexus

Lymphatic drains into the


preauricular parotid L/N
NERVES OF THE ORBIT

1) Optic nerve.
2) Occulomotor nerve with ciliary ganglion.
3) Trochlear
4) Br. Of Opthalmic and maxillary division of
Trigeminal nerve.
5) Abducent
6) Sympathetic nerves.
Optic Nerve

Nerve of sight made up of Structures: 1.2 million


axons of cells in the myelinated fibers.53%
ganglionic layer of retina- cross in the optic chiasm.
emerges from eyeball runs
backward medially and
Optic nerve is not a nerve in
passes through optic

canalto enter the middle
actually a tract. It cannot
cranial fossa where it goes
to optic chiasm. regenerate after it is cut.
Developmental of optic
4 cm longs: 5mm
nerve and tract are direct
intracanacular
prolangation of the brain.
10mm intracranial
25 mm intraorbital.
Relation to the orbit

- At apex surrounded by recti


muscles, ciliary ganglion.
- Central artery and vein of retina
pierce the optic nerve 1.25cm
behind the eyeball
- Crossed superiorly by opthalmic
artery, vein and nasociliary n.
- Crossed inferiorly by the nerve
to the medial rectus.
- Near eyeball, the nerve is
surrounded by fat containing
ciliary vessels and nerves.
Occulomotor nerve

3rd cranial nerve- distributed to


extraocular and intraocular
muscles. Since it is somatic
nerve, it is series with IV,VI
and XII nerve.
Nucleus: It is situated in the vetro
medial part of central gray
matter of mid brain at the
level sup. Colliculus. The fibers
for the constrictor pupillae for
the and for the ciliaries from
Edinger Westphal nuceus
which forms part of III nerve
complex.
Course and Distrubution:
-Fiber arises from nuc. and goes to
tegmentum and subs. nigra.
-At base, nerve is attached to
occulomotor sulcus on the medial
side of crus cerebri.
-It reaches cavernous sinus in
Ant.side of sinus divides into
upper and lower divisions.
-Two divisions of nerve enter orbit
through middle part of sup.orbital
fissure.
-Smaller upper division ascends on
lateral side of optic nerve.
Supplies SR and levator pal.sup.
Larger lower division divides into
3 br. for MR,IR & IO.-is the longest
gives motor root to ciliary
ganglion.
