HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

The extraconal space of the orbit includes orbital fat.

0:05

There is both intraconal fat as well as extraconal fat.

0:09

Lateral to the extraconal fat is the periosteum of

0:15

the skull base and the lateral orbital wall.

0:20

Medially, one finds the paranasal sinuses,

0:23

of which there is a periorbita tissue which serves

0:28

as the periosteum of the ethmoid sinus.

0:31

Below the orbit, one finds the maxillary sinus,

0:35

as well as more posteriorly, the skull.

0:37

And within this extraconal space, one finds a number of

0:42

small vessels and nerves which run and can serve to

0:46

account for some of the pathology in the extraconal space.
