Orbital plate of frontal bone
Lamina orbitalis ossis frontalis
Definition
The orbital plate of frontal bone is a triangular-shaped bony plate that makes up the roof of the orbital eye socket. The two orbital plates, one on each side, are separated from each other by an ethmoidal notch in the middle. Together, these orbital plates and the ethmoidal notch form the orbital part of frontal bone.
