Popis: Objective: To measure the effective orbital volume (EOV) from magnetic resonance images, and investigate its relationship with axial length (AL) in those parameters. Methods: Cross-sectional, 3D-MRI study. 54 eyes of 54 patients (25 males) were included in this work. Patient weight, height and head circumference were also measured. Orbital and eyeball volumes were calculated after image segmentation. The difference between those values volume was assessed, estimating the EOV for each eye. Results: Mean eyeball volume was 7.83 ± 2.27 mm3, mean orbital volume 26.81 ± 0.59 mm3 and EOV 21.64 ± 0.19 mm3. The orbital volume was significantly higher in the male group (Wilcoxon signed-rank tests Z=-1.51, p
