Relating to both the ethmoid bone and the lacrimal bone (tear bone), which are adjacent structures in the eye socket.
From ethmo- (ethmoid) + lacrimal (Latin lacrimalis, from lacrima, tear). Anatomical adjective combining two bone names from the facial skeleton.
The ethmolachrymal region shows how tightly packed skull bones are near your eyes—the ethmoid and lacrimal bones sit so close together that anatomists created a special term to talk about the space where they meet.
