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 .

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 nasociliary nerve enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure, [citation needed] through the common tendinous ring, [1] and between the two heads of the lateral rectus muscle and between the superior and inferior rami of the oculomotor nerve. [citation needed] It passes across the optic nerve (CN II) along with the ophthalmic artery.
The common tendinous ring spans the superior orbital fissure and can be described as having two parts – an inferior tendon which gives origin to the inferior rectus muscle, and to part of the lateral rectus muscle; and a superior tendon which gives origin to the superior rectus muscle, and to part of the medial and lateral recti muscles.
The orbital plate and that part of the sphenoid, which is found in the temporal fossa, as well as the lateral pterygoid plate, are ossified in membrane (Fawcett). Soon after, the centers for the postsphenoid part of the body appear, one on either side of the sella turcica, and become blended together about the middle of fetal life.
