Abstract

The essential segments of the skeleton are the human skull and cranium which have received significant attention in forensic research especially in the analysis of ethno-racial relationship. The features within it (example orbit) may give further insight into the understanding of the craniofacial anthropometry. Understanding the structural disposition of the human body is aided by the advances in medical imaging techniques such as radiography, MRI, CT scan etc. But direct measurement on dry skulls is a more natural perspective in assessing the orbital cavities. Conclusion: Periorbital and facial injuries are mainly caused by assaults and falls and at times may involve the forehead. Such injuries necessitate cranial and orbital reconstructions to correct both esthetic and functional deficits. Care must be taken to prevent damage to the neurovascular structures contained in the orbit or within its walls. In order to achieve this, the surgeon needs to have a proper understanding of the human orbital structure, its relationship with both intra- and extracranial structures, and associated key surgical and anatomical landmarks.
