Abstract
The anterior blood space of the cavernous sinus is situated anterolateral to the carotid siphon in 70% anterior to it in 15% and lateral to it in 15%. Its height depth and mediolateral breadth were measured. The mean distance between the carotid siphon and the skin at the supraorbital foramen was measured with 63 (52.4–71.4) mm. The drainage of the orbital veins was studied and described as well as the area of origin and first course of the ophthalmic artery and its clinical importance.Keywords
