The main goal of identification in forensic sciences is to estimate characteristics such as sex, age, stature, and ancestry. One of the regions of the human skeleton that most clearly shows sexual dimorphism is the skull. This study aims to evaluate whether the orbital dimensions could be used for sex estimation using Computed Tomography. We examined the orbital measurements of adult Turkish individuals (300 males and 300 females) aged 21–50. We measured Orbital Width, Orbital Height, Biorbital Breadth, and Interocular Breadth by Computed Tomography. The data of the variables showed a normal distribution; therefore, functions of uni/multivariate variables were obtained using Discriminant Function Analysis. Using Discriminant Function Analysis, a significant difference between men and women was determined with an accuracy of 73%. The orbital measurements of the adult Turkish population showed limited forensic significance for sex estimation. Conversely, their potential for examining the interpopulation and intrapopulation differences have been shown.
