"Zygomatic branch" redirects here. For the branch of the maxillary nerve, see
Zygomatic nerve .
The zygomatic branches of the facial nerve (malar branches ) are nerves of the face . They run across the zygomatic bone to the lateral angle of the orbit . Here, they supply the orbicularis oculi muscle , and join with filaments from the lacrimal nerve and the zygomaticofacial branch of the maxillary nerve (CN V2
Structure [ edit ]
The zygomatic branches of the facial nerve are branches of the facial nerve (CN VII).[1] zygomatic bone to the lateral angle of the orbit . This is deep to zygomaticus major muscle .[1]
Connections [ edit ]
The zygomatic branches of the facial nerve have many nerve connections. Along their course, there may be connections with the buccal branches of the facial nerve .[2] lacrimal nerve and the zygomaticofacial nerve from the maxillary nerve (CN V2 [3] inferior palpebral nerve and the superior labial nerve , both from the infraorbital nerve .[3]
Function [ edit ]
The zygomatic branches of the facial nerve supply part of the orbicularis oculi muscle .[2] [2]
Clinical significance [ edit ]
Testing [ edit ]
To test the zygomatic branches of the facial nerve, a patient is asked to close their eyes tightly.[citation needed This uses orbicularis oculi muscle .[2] electrode .[4]
Surgical damage [ edit ]
Rarely, the zygomatic branches of the facial nerve may be damaged during surgery on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).[5]
