Abstract
The sutural bones form an integral part of
orbit occupying the sutural gaps. The awareness of their presence is of
paramount importance while performing orbital surgery and imaging procedures.
This study is an attempt to find the frequency of occurrence of sutural bones
in the walls of orbit and the neighboring facial skeleton with explanation of
their morphology as well as surgical importance. The study was conducted on 320
dry adult skulls of North Indian origin obtained from the department of
Anatomy, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi. The skulls were observed for
the presence of sutural bones in the four walls of orbit and facial skeleton
bilaterally which were confirmed radiologically on computerized tomography. The
sizes of these bones were measured and the mean as well as standard deviations
of the values were calculated. Sutural bones were seen in the orbit and facial
skeleton in 102 (31.9%) skulls, with the lateral wall, medial wall, floor, roof
and the facial skeleton presenting with 40(12.5%), 12(3.75%), 8(2.5%),
12(3.75%) and 30(9.4%) bones respectively varying in their number, size, shape
and location. The organization and perplexing relations of neurovascular
structures in this region makes it imperative, that the surgeons be
knowledgeable about these morphologic variants.
