    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orbital_fissure

    Superior orbital fissure syndrome, also known as Rochon-Duvigneaud's syndrome, [4] [5] is a neurological disorder that results if the superior orbital fissure is fractured. Involvement of the cranial nerves that pass through the superior orbital fissure may lead to diplopia , paralysis of extraocular muscles, exophthalmos , and ptosis .

    Located in the superior orbital fissure. Innervates the superior oblique muscle, which depresses, abducts, and intorts the eyeball. V Trigeminal: Both sensory and motor Pons: Three Parts: V 1 (ophthalmic nerve) is located in the superior orbital fissure V 2 (maxillary nerve) is located in the foramen rotundum

  4. Cavernous sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavernous_sinus

    These nerves, with the exception of CN V 2, pass through the cavernous sinus to enter the orbital apex through the superior orbital fissure. The maxillary nerve, division V 2 of the trigeminal nerve travels through the lower portion of the sinus and exits via the foramen rotundum. The maxillary branch passes external to, but immediately ...

  5. Oculomotor nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculomotor_nerve

    The oculomotor nerve, also known as the third cranial nerve, cranial nerve III, or simply CN III, is a cranial nerve that enters the orbit through the superior orbital fissure and innervates extraocular muscles that enable most movements of the eye and that raise the eyelid.

  6. Cranial nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves

    Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), of which there are conventionally considered twelve pairs. Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck , including the special senses of vision , taste , smell , and hearing .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_(anatomy)

    The superior orbital fissure lies just lateral and inferior to the optic canal, and is formed at the junction of the lesser and greater wing of the sphenoid bone. It is a major pathway for intracranial communication, containing cranial nerves III , IV , VI which control eye movement via the extraocular muscles , and the ophthalmic branches of ...

    The ophthalmic nerve (CN V 1) is a sensory nerve of the head.It is one of three divisions of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), a cranial nerve.It has three major branches which provide sensory innervation to the eye, and the skin of the upper face and anterior scalp, as well as other structures of the head.
