Zygomaticofacial foramen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The zygomaticofacial foramen is a small[citation needed] opening upon the lateral (facial) surface of the zygomatic bone near the bone's orbital border. It gives passage to the zygomaticofacial nerve, artery, and vein. It is often doubled; it is sometimes absent.[1]
