[The problem of incisions and orifices in the supraorbital margin in man]. / Zur Frage der Einschnitte und Offnungen im oberen Rand der Augenhöhle beim Menschen.

The authors have conducted craniometric measurement of 226 skulls (118 male and 108 female). They introduce their own criteria of metric classification of features enabling anatomical determination of incisures and foramen with a probability of over 90% and find statistically significant sexual dimorphism and asymmetry in the position incisura (seu foramen) frontalis and incisura (seu foramen) supraorbitalis. Their co-occurrence is generally symmetric, but frequent in women.

[The morphological analysis of human canalis infraorbitalis and foramen infraorbitale (author's transl)]. / Die morphologische Analyse des Canalis infraorbitalis und des Foramen infraorbitale beim Menschen.

The authors carried out an analysis of metric characteristics of canalis infraorbitalis and foramen infraorbitale on the material of 186 skulls of adult individuals coming from the Department of Normal Anatomy of the Medical Academy in Wroclaw. They also analysed various shapes of foramen infraorbitale with regard to asymmetry. They found that the position of foramen infraorbitale in the sagittal plane and transverse plane of the face is characterized by great anatomical variability. They andicate cases the consideration of which may contribute to the decrease in the number of failure during local anesthesia of branches of n. infraorbitalis. It is concluded that the shape of foramen infraorbitale and the occurance of asymmetry of its modification may undergo population variability.
