Supraorbital fissure syndrome

The supraorbital fissure is located on the outer side of the orbital optic nerve, at the junction of the superior orbital wall and the outer orbital wall, and is composed of sphenoid bone wings. As a result, the middle cranial fossa communicates with the orbit. The posterior end of the supraorbital fissure meets the suborbital fissure. The cerebrum, supraocular vein, orbital branch of the middle meningeal artery, and sympathetic nerves of the III, IV, and VI brain nerves pass through this fissure. The supraorbital fissure syndrome can occur where there is a lesion in the orbital or intraorbital involvement of this supraorbital fissure.
