Identify the optic nerve and other structures crossing it. These are nasociliary nerve, ophthalmic artery and superior ophthalmic vein. With the optic nerve find two long ciliary nerves and 12-20 short ciliary nerves are seen. Remove the orbital fat and look carefully in the posterior part of the interval between the optic nerve and lateral rectus muscle along the lateral wall of the orbit and identify the pin head sized ciliary ganglion. Trace the roots connecting it to the nasociliary nerve and nerve to inferior oblique muscle. Lastly, identify the abducent nerve closely adherent to the medial surface of lateral rectus muscle. Incise the inferior fornix of conjunctiva and palpebral J fascia, Elevate the eyeball and remove the fat and fascia to identify the origin of inferior oblique muscle from the floor of the orbit anteriorly. Identity the levator palpebrae superioris and superior rectus above the eyeball, superior oblique supero- medially, medial rectus medially, lateral rectus laterally, and inferior rectus inferiorly. “The voluntary muscles are miniature ribbon muscles, having short tendons of origin and long tendons of insertion.

NERVES OF THE ORBIT Only opticnerve, ciliary ganglion branches of V1 and some branches of V2 and sympathetic nerves are described in this Chapter.

It is € nerve is about 4 cm lon are intraorbital, 5 mm intracanalicular, and 10 mm intracranial. The entire nerve is enclosed in three meningeal sheaths. The subarachnoid space extends around the nerve up to the eyeball (Fig. 13.10). Relations in the Orbit 1 At the Grex of the orbit, the nerve is closely sur- rounded by the recti muscles.
