The zygomaticotemporal suture (or temporozygomatic suture) is the cranial suture between the zygomatic bone and the temporal bone. [1] This is part of the zygomatic arch. [1] Movement at the suture decreases with development during aging. [1] It has a complex internal structure. [1]
The zygomaticotemporal nerve (zygomaticotemporal branch, temporal branch) is a cutaneous nerve of the head. [1] It is a branch of the zygomatic nerve (itself a branch of the maxillary nerve (CN V 2)).
In anatomy, the zygomatic arch, or cheek bone, is a part of the skull formed by the zygomatic process of the temporal bone (a bone extending forward from the side of the skull, over the opening of the ear) and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone (the side of the cheekbone), the two being united by an oblique suture (the zygomaticotemporal suture); [1] the tendon of the temporal muscle ...
The cranial suture between the frontal and zygomatic bone is found here. On its orbital surface, just within the orbital margin and about 11 mm below the zygomaticofrontal suture is a tubercle of varying size and form, but present in 95 per cent of skulls (Whitnall 43). This tubercle is not seen in the picture.
The temporal bone consists of four parts—the squamous, mastoid, petrous and tympanic parts. [1] [2] The squamous part is the largest and most superiorly positioned relative to the rest of the bone.

Sphenozygomatic suture (blue circle), seen from behind. Side view of the skull. (Sphenozygomatic suture visible at center, between sphenoid bone , which is colored yellow in the diagram, and the zygomatic bone , which is colored in white.).
The greater, or anterior fontanel, is a lozenge-shaped space that is situated at the junction of the sagittal and the coronal sutures. The lesser, or posterior fontanel, is represented by a small triangular area at the intersection of the sagittal and lambdoid sutures. The localization of these fontanels gives important information concerning ...
