Keywords:

. To determine the prevalence and morphological variability of the Hyrtl foramen between the orbit and middle cranial fossa within a limited sample of human skulls.

Abstract

. The cranio-orbital foramen of Hyrtl, a minor anatomical aperture in orbit,

facilitates the passage of the recurrent meningeal branch - a vascular structure

originating from the lateral (lacrimal) artery and anastomosing with the ophthalmic

branch of the middle meningeal artery. This study aimed to identify and characterize

this foramen in human skulls through craniometric analysis.
