zygomaticotemporal

The lacrimal nerve is occasionally absent, and its place is then taken by the zygomaticotemporal branch of the maxillary.

The superficial temporal branches (rami temporales superficiales) accompany the superficial temporal artery to the vertex of the skull; they supply the skin of the temporal region and communicate with the facial and zygomaticotemporal nerves.

IX. Neurology. 5e. The Trigeminal Nerve 1918

The temporal fossa contains the Temporalis muscle and its vessels and nerves, together with the zygomaticotemporal nerve.

II. Osteology. 5c. The Exterior of the Skull 1918

The Zygomatic Nerve (n. zygomaticus; temporomalar nerve; orbital nerve) arises in the pterygopalatine fossa, enters the orbit by the inferior orbital fissure, and divides at the back of that cavity into two branches, zygomaticotemporal and zygomaticofacial.

IX. Neurology. 5e. The Trigeminal Nerve 1918

The temporal fossa is bounded in front by the frontal and zygomatic bones, and opening on the back of the latter is the zygomaticotemporal foramen.

II. Osteology. 5c. The Exterior of the Skull 1918

These bones are joined to one another and to the zygomatic by the following sutures: the zygomaticotemporal between the zygomatic process of the temporal and the temporal process of the zygomatic; the zygomaticofrontal uniting the zygomatic bone with the zygomatic process of the frontal; the sutures surrounding the great wing of the sphenoid, viz., the sphenozygomatic in front, the sphenofrontal and sphenoparietal above, and the sphenosquamosal behind.

II. Osteology. 5c. The Exterior of the Skull 1918

On it are seen the orifices of two canals, the zygomaticoörbital foramina; one of these canals opens into the temporal fossa, the other on the malar surface of the bone; the former transmits the zygomaticotemporal, the latter the zygomaticofacial nerve.

II. Osteology. 5b. 4. The Zygomatic Bone 1918

Near the center of this surface is the zygomaticotemporal foramen for the transmission of the zygomaticotemporal nerve.

II. Osteology. 5b. 4. The Zygomatic Bone 1918

The Temporal Branches (rami temporales) cross the zygomatic arch to the temporal region, supplying the Auriculares anterior and superior, and joining with the zygomaticotemporal branch of the maxillary, and with the auriculotemporal branch of the mandibular.

IX. Neurology. 5g. The Facial Nerve 1918

The zygomaticotemporal branch (ramus zygomaticotemporalis; temporal branch) runs along the lateral wall of the orbit in a groove in the zygomatic bone, receives a branch of communication from the lacrimal, and, passing through a foramen in the zygomatic bone, enters the temporal fossa.
