Nervus orbitalis seu orbitarius seu subcutaneus malae, is a branch given off from the superior maxillary. It enters the orbit by the spheno-maxillary fissure, and divides into two filaments; the one-malar-which passes over the cheek-bone, is distributed to the orbicularis palpebrarum, and anastomoses with the facial nerve; the other-temporal-which passes to the temporal fossae, and anastomoses with the inferior maxillary and facial, to become afterwards subcutaneous.
