The Lateral Wall of the Orbit This wall is thick, particularly its posterior part, which separates the orbit from the middle cranial fossa. The lateral wall is formed by the frontal process of the zygomatic bone and the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. Anteriorly, the lateral wall lies between the orbit and the temporal fossa. The lateral wall is partially separated from the roof by the superior orbital fissure.…
