Therefore, the primary objective of the present study was to precisely define the dimension, location and clinical significance of the supraorbital foramen\/notch. By doing so, we aimed to enhance our understanding of this anatomical structure and its implications for surgical and aesthetic interventions in the supraorbital region.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For our study, we conducted anatomical dissections and bone measurements to assess the significance of anatomical variations of the supraorbital foramen\/notch. We utilized a sample consisting of 28 cadavers and 38 skulls. The supraorbital foramen\/notch was bilaterally analyzed in all 28 cadavers and 38 dry bones. We morphometrically analyzed the distance between the supraorbital foramen\/notch and various anatomical landmarks, including the nasion, supraorbital margin, infraorbital margin, temporal crest, glabella, frontal cavity and midline of the face. Additionally, we measured\u00a0the distance between the supraorbital foramen\/notches and the frontal foramen\/notches, and the width of the supraorbital foramen\/notch and the distance between both supraorbital foramina\/notches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There are 32 (57.14%) supraorbital \u00a0foramina, and the remaining are 24 (42.86%) supraorbital notches in cadavers and there are 36 (47.37%) supraorbital foramina, and the remaining are 40 (52.63%) supraorbital notches in skulls. We observed consistency in the dimension and location values of anatomical measurement parameters between cadavers and dry skulls on both right and left sides, with the exception of the parameter \"distance from temporal crest\" (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.042). Furthermore, our correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between the right and left sides across all parameters, except for the following instances: in dry skulls, \"distance from supraorbital margin\" and in cadaver parameters, \"distance from temporal crest, \" \"distance from frontal cavity\" and \"width.\"\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In our study, we observed that the distributions of supraorbital foramina and notches were nearly similar. Furthermore, our findings indicated comparable measurements between the right and left sides in both cadavers and skulls. These results suggest a degree of consistency in supraorbital anatomy within our study sample, regardless of the specimen type (cadavers or skulls) or laterality (right or left side).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>No Level Assigned<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each submission to which Evidence-Based Medicine rankings are applicable.
