    • The zygomaticofacial nerve (or zygomaticofacial branch of zygomatic nerve or malar branch of zygomatic nerve) is a cutaneous (sensory) branch of the maxillary nerve (CN V2) that arises within the orbit. The zygomaticofacial nerve penetrates the inferolateral angle of the orbit, emerging into the face through: 631  the zygomaticofacial foramen,: 615  then penetrates the orbicularis oculi muscle to reach: 631  and innervate the skin of the prominence of the cheek.: 631
