In current paper we measure distance between zygomaticomaxillar suture and the optic canal instead of the infraorbital foramen. Rontal used the distance between infraorbital foramen and posterior wall of the maxillary sinus for the inferior quadrate’s safe distance. Whenever we add to this diameter mean distance between the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus from the optic canal (12 mm), we gain comparable similar results of other authors [15]. NA: dimensions were not measured. McQueen studied 54 single sided orbit; safe distances to the optic nerve were identified by subtracting 5 mm from the shortest measured specimen. |
