Infraorbital foramen
Updates to Article Attributes
The infra-orbitalinfraorbital foramen is located in the maxillary bone. ItsIt is the anterior opening of the infra-orbitalinfraorbital canal, which is the anterior continuation of the infra-orbitalinfraorbital groove which, which course through the floor of the orbit. The canal may reside entirely in the maxillary sinus, suspended from the sinus roof by a mesentery.
The foramen's facial surface is superior to the canine fossa and inferior to the lower margin of the orbit. It transmits the infraorbital nerve (a branch of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve (CN Vb) and infraorbital artery and vein.
Within the infra-orbitalinfraorbital groove, the infra-orbitalinfraorbital nerve gives ofoff sensory branches to the maxillary sinus and upper teeth:
