Correlations between selected metric parameters of the human skull and the orbit should be useful for anticipating probable dimensions of the orbit in living subjects.
MATERIAL/METHODS: One hundred human skulls derived from medieval cemeteries in Poland and 20 additional contemporary skulls were investigated. Measurements were made with anthropometric caliper, vernier caliper and lead.
For orbit depth, orbital coefficient was negatively correlated with the width and length coefficient of the skull, but skull length was positively correlated. The minimal distance between the anterior lacrimal crest and the optic canal had a positive correlation with the skull length and a negative correlation with the orbital coefficient. The distance between the fronto-zygomatic suture and the optic canal had a positive correlation with skull height and with orbit width. The distance between the infraorbital foramen and the optic canal had a negative correlation with the orbital coefficient. Empirical formulas were derived on the basis of the calculated means. These formulas allow prediction of the distances between important orbital structures and topographical points at the orbital entrance, based on skull dimensions which are easily measurable intravitally.
We conclude that the actual distances inside the orbit can be determined on the basis of gender, length and height of the skull, the width of the orbit, and the orbital coefficient.
人类颅骨的某些测量参数与眼眶之间存在相关性，这对于预测活体眼眶的可能维度是有用的。
材料/方法：对来自波兰中世纪墓地的 100 个人颅骨和另外 20 个当代颅骨进行了研究。使用人体测量卡尺、游标卡尺和铅进行了测量。
对于眶深，眶系数与颅骨的宽度和长度系数呈负相关，但与颅骨长度呈正相关。前泪嵴与视神经管之间的最小距离与颅骨长度呈正相关，与眶系数呈负相关。额颧缝与视神经管之间的距离与颅骨高度和眶宽呈正相关。眶下孔与视神经管之间的距离与眶系数呈负相关。基于计算的平均值推导出了经验公式。这些公式允许根据颅骨尺寸（在活体中易于测量）预测眶内重要结构和眶入口处的解剖点之间的距离。
我们得出结论，实际的眶内距离可以根据性别、颅骨的长度和高度、眶宽和眶系数来确定。
