  • (n.) The cavity or socket of the skull in which the eye and its appendages are situated.
  • (n.) The skin which surrounds the eye of a bird.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Furthermore echography revealed a collateral subperiosteal edema and a moderate thickening of extraocular muscles and bone periostitis, a massive swelling of muscles and bone defects in subperiosteal abscesses as well as encapsulated abscesses of the orbit and a concomitant retrobulbar neuritis in orbital cellulitis.
  • (2) The nature of the putative autoantigen in Graves' ophthalmopathy (Go) remains an enigma but the sequence similarity between thyroglobulin (Tg) and acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) provides a rationale for epitopes which are common to the thyroid gland and the eye orbit.
  • (3) In reconstruction of the orbital floor, homograft lyophilised dura or cialit-stord rib cartilage are suitable, but the best materials are autologous cartilage or silastic or teflon.

  • (5) A microdissection of the orbital nerves of the cat was made paying particular attention to the accessory ciliary ganglion.
  • (6) As with alloplastic orbital implant extrusions in enucleated sockets, autogeneous dermis fat grafts can be useful in managing extrusions in previously eviscerated sockets.
  • (7) Orbital hypertelorism, strictly defined as an increase in bony interorbital distance, is not itself an isolated syndrome, but is instead an anomaly that may occur as either part of a syndrome or malformation sequence.
  • (8) In several other cases, MR provided information beyond that obtained with CT. MR has the advantage of providing exquisite anatomic detail in multiplanar images, and it appears to be more sensitive than CT in detecting small, subacute and chronic hemorrhage within soft-tissue masses in the orbit and in detecting ischemia of the globe.
  • (9) We describe here two essentially different patterns of behavioral recovery following selective lesions of the dorsolateral and orbital prefrontal cortex.
