Abstract
Accurate quantitative data of the adult bony orbital volume and dimension are needed for treatment optimization. In the present study, the authors aim to evaluate adult orbital volume and corresponding linear dimensions according to age, volume, and individual symmetry. Seventy computerized tomography facial scans of adults were randomly chosen from an institutional database and 3-dimensionally reconstructed. Studies were excluded for orbital pathology or incomplete radiographic data. Anatomic landmarks were marked. Interval linear distances and orbital volumes were calculated. Data were analyzed using paired T-tests, independent T-tests, linear regression analysis, and 1-way analysis of variance. A total of 140 orbits from 70 patients were analyzed (female = 35, male = 35), ranging from 20 to 88 years of age. Orbital volume was similar between an individual's left and right side; however, a difference was observed in vertical orbital height, orbital width, inferior orbital rim position, orbital roof length, orbital width, and medial orbital wall length (0.45, 0.64, 0.4, 0.77, 0.97, and 5.1 mm, respectively; P < 0.05). In comparison to females, males averaged larger orbital volume by 3.07 cm (29.58 cm versus 26.51 cm, P = 0.000...Continue Reading
