Frontal nerve

The frontal nerve is the largest nerve branch of the ophthalmic nerve (V1), which in turn arises from the Trigeminal nerve.

Anatomy

The frontal nerve passes through the Superior orbital fissure. The frontal nerve divides into the supratrochlear nerve and the supraorbital nerve, which passes through the supraorbital notch[^1].
