Zygomaticofacial foramen

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] Inferior to the foramen is a slight elevation which gives origin to the zygomaticus muscle.
