Orbital Boundaries

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

The extraconal space is seen on

0:03

both sides of the muscle cone.

0:05

Here, medially, we have the extraconal fat and

0:09

adjacent to it we have the ethmoid sinuses,

0:12

which are most closely opposed to the orbit.

0:15

Between the fat and the ethmoid sinus is the periorbita

0:20

or the periosteum of the ethmoid sinus.

0:23

Laterally, you see the extraconal space which is

0:26

bordered by, in this case, the zygomatic arch

0:29

and the zygoma bone.

0:32

And more posterior laterally,

0:34

one might have the sphenoid sinus or the skull base.

0:39

Anteriorly is another extraconal space

0:42

and that includes the eyelids.

0:44

This is also well seen on the coronal images where

0:48

we have the ethmoid sinuses and medial aspect,

0:50

the extraconal fat, and all of the bone that

0:53

surrounds the orbit as well as the maxillary sinus

0:58

below and the frontal sinus and the brain above.
