Source text - French Introduction
Les orbites sont des éléments majeurs du massif facial, en interaction étroite avec les globes oculaires, les sinus de la face, et la base du crâne. Des anomalies des orbites peuvent avoir des conséquences sur ces éléments anatomiques voisins et vice-versa (Arikan et al., 2009). Le volume orbitaire pourrait prédisposer à certaines pathologies orbitaires ou periorbitaire et la mise en évidence d’un dimorphisme sexuel des volumes orbitaires permettrait de comprendre les différences de prédisposition à certaines pathologies orbitaires entre les hommes et les femmes voir d’établir un nouveau critère d’identification sexuelle quantitatif en science médico-légale.
La morphologie cranio-faciale a été beaucoup étudiée sur des radiographies standards (2D), comme les céphalométries, mais ces techniques comportent des biais liés aux erreurs d’interprétation et de mesures (Houston, 1983). Ces techniques deviennent encore moins fiables lorsqu’il s’agit d’étudier les volumes des cavités cranio- faciales (Bassil-Nassif et al., 2011). L'avènement des techniques de reconstruction en 3 dimensions (3D) a permis d’appréhender plus précisément la morphologie cranio-faciale (Farronato et al., 2014).
Le dimorphisme des volumes des cavités cranio-faciales, et notamment des orbites a déjà été évalué dans plusieurs études (Ji et al., 2010)(Shyu et al., 2015). Cependant la plupart des études se contentaient d’une comparaison des volumes en valeurs absolues, or les hommes ayant des dimensions crâniennes plus grandes que les femmes (Franklin et al., 2013), il est nécessaire de rapporter le volume orbitaire au volume crânien pour mettre en évidence un réel dimorphisme sexuel. Aucune étude n’a rapporté le volume orbitaire à la taille centroïde du crâne pour mettre en évidence un dimorphisme sexuel.
L’objectif principal de notre étude était d’évaluer le dimorphisme sexuel des volumes orbitaires rapportés à la taille du crâne………………………
Translation - English Introduction
A major component of facial structure, the orbits lie in close anatomical relationship to the ocular globes, the facial sinuses, and the base of the skull. Abnormalities of the orbit can have consequences for these neighbouring anatomical structures, and vice-versa (Arikan et al 2009). Orbital volume could be a predisposing factor in certain orbital or peri-orbital pathologies and the demonstration of a sexual dimorphism in orbital volume could help to understand the differences in predisposition to some orbital pathologies between men and women. It could even provide a novel quantitative criterion for gender determination in forensic medicine.
Cranio-facial morphology has been extensively studied using standard (2D) radiographic methods, such as cephalometry, but these techniques are prone to bias, related to errors in interpretation and measurement (Houston 1983). They become even less reliable when the aim is to study the volume of cranio-facial cavities (Bassil-Nassif et al 2011). The advent of 3D reconstruction techniques has allowed a much more precise appreciation of cranio-facial morphology (Farronato et al 2014).
Dimorphism in the volume of cranio-facial cavities, and notably the orbits, has already been evaluated in several studies (Ji et al 2010; Shyu et al 2015). However, most of these studies were limited to a comparison of absolute volumes. Given that cranial dimensions are greater in men than in women (Franklin et al 2013), orbital volume must be expressed relative to cranial volume in order to demonstrate a real sexual dimorphism. No previous study has related orbital volume to the centroid size of the skull so as to demonstrate sexual dimorphism.
The principal aim of our study was to investigate sex differences in orbital volume relative to skull size…………………………………………
