“…The distance between the IOF and midpoint of the inferior orbital margin has been reported to be from 4 mm to over 10 mm in several studies (Hollinshead;Bolini & Del Sol;Triandafilidi et al;Hindy & Abdel-Raouf, 1993;Ochs & Buckley;Chapman et al;Chung et al;Leo et al;Aziz et al;Karakas et al).…”

“…Precise knowledge of the location of reference points in this area provides important data in local anesthesia (Zide & Swift 1998) and in maxillofacial and plastic surgical operations (Aziz et al, 2000;Hwang & Baik, 1999;Rontal et al, 1979;Triandafilidi et al, 1990).There are several reference points on each wall with respect to infraorbital foramen, oral and maxillofacial surgery and local anesthesia (Aziz et al;Du Tolt & Nortje, 2003).…”

“…This foramen has been used from various reference points, e.g. to determine the morphometric variations of the orbit (Karakas et al) and variations in size and in symmetry (Bolini & Del Sol; Berge & Bergman), as well as, has been reported the presence of accessory supranumerarios foramens (Gruber;Berry,1975;Bergman et al;Aziz et al).…”

SUMMARY:The aim of the study was to establish morphometrically the infraorbital foramen (IOF) location in the sagittal and transversal plan of the skull and to analyze the variations, as well as verifying the symmetry with the contralateral IOF. 210 skulls were analyzed and as exclusion criterion, were not analyzed skulls of children. Digital paquimeter was used and had been carried through two bilateral measures: a)sagittal measure; from infraorbital margin until the superior margin of the IOF; b) transversal measure, of the lateral margin of piriformis opening until the medial margin of the IOF, using the transversal plan. These measures had formed an angle of 90º between itself. The data were analyzed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov to verify the Gaussian distribution and and Person's test to evaluate the correlation, considering significantly the differences that had presented a p≤ 0,05. The mean±SD in the sagital measures were respectively; right side 6,71±1.70 mm and 6,83±1.83 mm for left side (p≤0.0001). Transversal measures were: right side 13,28±2.17mm and 13,31±2.19 mm for left side (p≤0.0001). Were observed supranumerary foramens of the IOF, with presence of the double IOF in 50 cases, being bilateral in 08 specimens, left and right side 21 specimens for each side.The IOF are not absolutely symmetrical and may present pair bilateral and or unilateral opening. The presence of the supranumerary foraminas, as well as, the morphometrics measures in this study may intervene with the anesthesia, thus, suggest that they must be considered in the anaesthesical evaluation and be remembered during the procedures used for the localization of the forame. (Chonghuo, 1993;Chen, 1997;Esper et al. 1997Esper et al. ,1998, require more precise understanding of the surrounding anatomy (Bolini & Del Sol; Karakas et al.). Data on morphometric measurements regarding reference points should reduce risks during procedures, surgical operations and anesthesia (Zide & Swift; Karakas et al.; Du Tolt & Nortje). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to conduct morphometric measurements of the IOF location by using the sagittal and transversal plan of the Brazilian skull as reference, as well as verifying the symmetry with the contralateral IOF.Exclusion criterion of the sample: It was adopted like exclusion criterion all the child skulls and the skulls which the piriformis opening was damaged, unilaterally or bilaterally.In all the samples the presence of right maxilar joined to the left maxilar was considered indispensable to have the absolutely certainty that the studied foramens belonged to the same original skull and the statistic could express reliable results. The variables age, sex and race were not considered. Statistical analysis:The softwareGraph Prism was used in the statistical evaluation of measurement results. From these measurements means and standard deviations (mean±SD) were calculated. The data were analyzed by the KolmogorovSmirnov to verify the Gaussian distribution and and Person's test to evaluate the correlati...

The aim of this study was to provide the morphological and morphometric data of the supraorbital foramina or notches related to sex, side, and the climatic conditions where the population lived. It was hypothesized that the distribution of the occurrence and location of these openings depends on climatic conditions in which the population lived. Orbits from 866 dried skulls obtained from three climatic regions: warm, temperate, and cold were examined. The examination concentrated on the configuration (notch/foramen) and on the distances to the reference points: nasion, frontomalare orbitale, infraorbital foramen and the superior orbital rim. In 14.3% of cases a smooth supraorbital rim was observed while different variants of the structures were observed in 85.7% of the cases. In cold climatic conditions, supraorbital foramina were found in the highest frequency (35.4%). In warm and temperate climates, the observed frequencies of supraorbital foramen were the lowest (18.8% and 19.9%, respectively). Frequency of supraorbital notches was the lowest of those skulls from a cold climate (44.0%) and the highest in those from a warm climate (59.0%). These results support the hypothesis that the occurrence of the supraorbital notches is greater in populations from warm compared with cold regions. This would provide a greater exit route for the neurovascular bundle and this may be related to the thermoregulatory processes in the supraorbital region. Furthermore, knowledge of precise locations of supraorbital structures is important when a supraorbital nerve block is given, for example, in the treatment of migraine headaches.
