Abstract

Background and Aims: The morphometric study of the orbit is a common practice among anatomists, anthropologists, surgeons and forensic experts as it derives its importance with surgical procedures indicated for trauma, decompression, tumours and metastases. Surgically orbital morphometric study provides parameters for preoperative planning and prediction of postoperative outcome. Racial and ethnic differences noted on the basis of Orbital Index (OI) amongst different population formulates database for respective studies. Materials and Methods: 54 dry Indian human skulls of known sexes studied for orbital length, breadth and biorbital & inerorbital length. Orbital index calculated and compared for ethnic , racial differences. Results: no significant difference in orbital height and breadth noted on right and left side. Orbital index was found more in females. Conclusion: Present studies assess the clinical and surgical significance of the orbit to establish a morphometric analysis with interrelated structures, thus enhancing anatomic and anthropological knowledge regarding Indian orbits. Parameters of the study formulate guidelines for operative procedures.
