AB  - PURPOSE: Anatomical variation in supraorbital transcranial exits, which can be 
      divided into the lateral supraorbital exit and the medial frontal exit, has been 
      investigated in several studies during the past few decades. However, in previous 
      studies, inconsistent criteria were used for classifying those exits. The authors 
      analyzed variations in supraorbital transcranial exits using 3 dimensional 
      multidetector computed tomography (3D MDCT), and present a consistent 
      classification of the types of those exits with precise location measurements. 
      METHODS: In 1181 patients (2362 orbits) who underwent facial 3D MDCT, the authors 
      measured a set of qualitative and quantitative parameters. The qualitative 
      parameters included an assessment of the location and type of the exit, and the 
      number of accessory foramina. The quantitative parameters included various 
      distance measurements. RESULTS: A frontal exit was present in 2071 orbits and a 
      supraorbital exit in 953. Neither a frontal exit nor a supraorbital exit was 
      found in 11 orbits. The most common type of frontal exit was the notch type, 
      followed by the foramen type and none. The mean distance from the nasion to the 
      frontal exit was 24.70 +/- 3.50 mm on the right side and 23.69 +/- 3.42 mm on the 
      left side. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, various types of supraorbital transcranial 
      exits were observed, of which the frontal notch was the most common. This is the 
      first study to conduct a consistent analysis of a large sample of skulls to 
      characterize the distribution of supraorbital transcranial exit types using a 
      comprehensive and clear set of criteria.
