Popis: The aim of the investigation was to study the meningo-orbital foramina on male and female skulls in terms of age. The material for the study was 40 male and 64 female skulls belonging to the adolescence (1st age period), I (2nd age period), and II (3rd age period) stages of adulthood, as well as the elderly age period (4th age period). Of the 40 male skulls we studied, the meningo-orbital foramen was found on 15 of them (37.5%); at the same time, on 12 of the skulls with the meningo-orbital foramen, it was detected unilaterally (30%) and on three bilaterally (7.5%). As can be seen from the table, on male skulls with the unilateral presence of the meningo-orbital foramen, the number of these foramina did not exceed 1. The meningo-orbital foramina were found in all age periods studied on male skulls. At the same time, they were always present on the left side but absent on the right side in the 1st and 3rd age periods. Despite this, the number of right meningo-orbital foramina was greater than that of the left ones. More often, meningo-orbital foramina were found on the right male orbits in the 2nd age period. The bilateral meningo-orbital foramina on male skulls were found only in the 2nd age period. Of the 64 female skulls examined, 31 had the meningo-orbital foramina (48.4%). On 18 female skulls, the meningo-orbital foramen was found unilaterally (28.1%) and on 13 bilaterally (20.3%). Two meningo-orbital foramina were found on one right orbit of the 1st and on one right orbit of the 2nd age periods. On female skulls with bilateral occurrences of the meningo-orbital foramina, variant A was predominant. This variant was found on 3 skulls of the 2nd age period (4.7%), on 3 skulls of the 3rd age period (4.7%), and also on 2 4th age period skulls (3.1%). Variant B was investigated in all studied age groups of female skulls (one skull in each group). Variant D was found on one female skull belonging to the 4th age period.
