The lacrimal fossa (or fossa for lacrimal gland) is located on the inferior surface of each orbital plate of the frontal bone. It is smooth and concave, and presents, laterally, underneath the zygomatic process, a shallow depression for the lacrimal gland.

2023年11月3日 · The inner margin of this sulcus unites with the frontal process of the maxilla and in this way forms the lacrimal fossa. The upper part of the lacrimal fossa houses the lacrimal sac, whereas the lower part contains the nasolacrimal duct.

2022年4月5日 · The lacrimal bone is a tiny, fragile facial bone with a complex structure and vital functions. The paired bone is roughly the size of the little fingernail, making up the anterior part of the eye socket’s medial wall.

Fossa for lacrimal gland is a shallow, bony depression located beneath the outer part of the bottom surface of the orbital plate of the frontal bone. This fossa contains the orbital part of the lacrimal gland, which is situated deep in the orbital cavity.

The lacrimal bones are two small and fragile bones of the facial skeleton; they are roughly the size of the little fingernail and situated at the front part of the medial wall of the orbit. They each have two surfaces and four borders.

A smooth, more deeply concave depression on the lacrimal bone, which forms the medial wall of the orbital cavity, in which the lacrimal sac that drains into the nasolacrimal duct is located, is referred to as the lacrimal fossa (or fossa for the lacrimal sac).

lacrimal fossa A rounded, shallow hollow on the anterolateral part of the orbital surface of the frontal bone, which is medial to the zygomatic process that, in vivo, houses the lacrimal gland.

The lacrimal fossa is a small, shallow depression located in the frontal bone of the skull, specifically designed to house the lacrimal sac. This structure plays a crucial role in the drainage system of the eye, allowing tears to drain from the eye surface into the nasal cavity.

2022年4月14日 · The lacrimal fossa exhibits semi-funnel-shaped appearance and its inferior border connects with the superior opening (nearly round) of nasolacrimal duct (anterior superior view of left lacrimal fossa)

2021年12月12日 · To study the affect of anatomical variance of lacrimal sac fossa on dacryocystorhinostomies (DCR) performed by the traditional external (EX-DCR) approach or an endoscopic (EN-DCR) endonasal approach. A total of 292 consecutive cases with primary nasolacrimal obstruction underwent DCR surgery.
