Description

The trochlear foveae are the two shallow depressions found along the orbital surface of each orbital part of frontal bone. On its corresponding side, each trochlear fovea:

—is located lateral to the medial end of a supraorbital margin;

—provides an attachment site for the trochlea of a superior oblique muscle.

In some individuals, trochlear spines may be present instead of the trochlear foveae.
