Superior and inferior orbital fissures

The video tutorial explores the neurovasculature of the orbit, focusing on the superior and inferior orbital fissures. It defines these structures, reviews the bones of the orbit, and details the neurovascular structures passing through each fissure. The optic canal is also discussed, along with clinical notes on traumatic superior orbital fissure syndrome. The tutorial concludes with a review of key points.
