Abstract

Objectives: Evaluate optic canal anatomy and symmetry using computed tomography. Research methods: A cross-sectional study evaluating CT scans of 200 optic canals from 100 patients, aged 18 and older, without any anatomical abnormalities in the orbital apex, optic canal, sphenoid bone, and skull base. Results: The mean width and height of the optic foramen are 4.74 ± 0.76 mm and 5.11 ± 0.56 mm, respectively. The mean width and height of the cranial foramen are 6.79 ± 1.24 mm and 4.57 ± 0.67 mm, respectively. The mean asymmetry ratio between the measured diameters of the bilateral optic canals is 14%. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that CT can provide crucial images of the optic canal for diagnosing and treating pathologies related to the optic canal.
