Abstract
The cranio-orbital foramen is an additional link between the cranial cavity and the orbital cavity. This foramen lies in the postero-superior aspect of the lateral wall of the orbital cavity, adjacent to the superior orbital fissure. This bony canal, not always present in the human skull, when it is present it contains a branch from the middle meningeal artery, providing an accessory blood supply to the orbit. This vessel, like the foramen, is charecterised by great variability. Although some anatomy textbooks suggested that this foramen is of a rare occurrence. It is a potential source of hemorrhage that surgeons should be aware of when operating along the lateral orbital wall, because it is the location of an anastomosis between the lacrimal artery and middle meningeal artery. The knowledge of this foramen and structure related with it has a great significance for ophthalmologist and neurosurgeons.
