Proptosis and Orbital Disease

- Summary

Abstract

The normal orbit is cone shaped, approximately 47.5 mm in depth in adults, and is formed by the union of seven bones that are penetrated by various foramina. The orbital bones provide strong protection and support for the contents of the orbit, whereas the foramina permit connections with the central nervous system and with the vascular system.
