Objective: Supratrochlear and infratrochlear triangles are surgical corridors for approaching the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus. The literature provides conflicting results for the morphology and morphometry of these triangles. Additionally, the possible effects of vascular structures that drain into the cavernous sinus in unknown. This study aimed to investigate the morphology, morphometry, and vascular relationships of the supratrochlear and infratrochlear triangles of the cavernous sinus.
