The surgical procedures directed to the orbit are invariably reported to be one of the most challenging procedures of the neurosurgery and it is very important to take measures to protect the ocular nerves. Many researchers have tried to identify safe approaches or safe regions in the orbit but the suggestions and results vary among published studies. The ocular motor nerves are under risk of injury during various approaches to the orbit. Simple but careful attention to potential variations in the origin and anatomical course of the ocular nerves and their relationships to the orbit may help to define "safe zones" during various approaches, thus, help to enhance clinical outcomes. The objective of this review, therefore, is to discuss the surgical anatomy of the orbit with special emphasis on oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves and further emphasize their relationships with a surgical point of view during various approaches directed to the orbit.

“…The four main branches of the mandibular nerve are lingual, inferior alveolar, long buccal, and auriculotemporal nerves, with the latter carrying postsynaptic parasympathetic fibers from the otic ganglion. The auriculotemporal nerve exhibits notable variability, including the presence of single, double, triple, or even quadruple roots [ 1 , 2 ]. The nerve may display a connecting branch between its upper and lower roots, may have between five to nine terminal branches, and may fenestrate the superficial temporal vein [ 1 , 3 ].…”

Antegrade Auriculotemporal-Inferior Alveolar Nerve Communication in the Infratemporal Fossa

Communications between cranial nerves or their branches have been described previously. The exact functional significance of some of these neural communications remains to be fully understood. This paper reports a unique communication between the auriculotemporal and inferior alveolar nerves within the infratemporal fossa. The histological examination indicates an antegrade connection from the inferior alveolar nerve to the auriculotemporal nerve, which could potentially be implicated in referred pain from the anatomical territory of one nerve to the other.

Variant Innervation of the Medial Pterygoid Muscle from the Lingual Nerve

2019

During a routine dissection of the infratemporal fossa and lateral face, a branch of the left lingual nerve was observed entering the medial pterygoid muscle. Normally, the nerve to the medial pterygoid is a direct branch from the mandibular nerve, with no communications with the lingual nerve. There are many reports involving variations of the mandibular nerve; however, few reports describe lingual nerve variations involving the medial pterygoid muscle. Reconstructive surgeries for cosmesis and trauma, tumor excision, and impacted third molar removal may all damage the lingual nerve and might, as seen in the present case, affect the medial pterygoid muscle. Given the presumed rarity of this variation, we discuss the possible embryological origins as well as the surgical conflicts that may arise with this type of variation.
