Anatomical meningo-orbital band evaluation and clinical implications: a cadaveric dissection study.

CONCLUSIONS: In our study the average length of a safe incision of the MOB was 10.6 ± 1.1 mm. Thus, the incision length of the MOB should not exceed 9 mm; the peeling of the anterior cavernous sinus and of the SOF, dissecting the two layers of the dura throughout the incision of the MOB, is an useful technique to avoid cranial nerves and cavernous sinus lesions.
