The supratrochlear artery (or frontal artery) is one of the terminal branches of the ophthalmic artery. It arises within the orbit. [1] [2] It exits the orbit alongside the supratrochlear nerve. It contributes arterial supply to the skin, muscles and pericranium of the forehead. [3]
The ophthalmic artery (OA) is an artery of the head. It is the first branch of the internal carotid artery distal to the carotid sinus. Branches of the ophthalmic artery supply all the structures in the orbit around the eye, as well as some structures in the nose, face, and meninges. Occlusion of the ophthalmic artery or its branches can ...

The supratrochlear artery is a branch of the ophthalmic branch of the internal carotid artery. the supraorbital artery to the lateral forehead and scalp as far up as the vertex. The supraorbital artery is a branch of the ophthalmic branch of the internal carotid artery. external carotid
The perfusion of the paramedian forehead flap comes from three sources: randomly, through the frontalis muscle and through the supratrochlear artery. [1] Because the forehead flap is an axial flap with a pedicle containing its dominant vessel, the pedicle can safely be narrowed to 1 to 1.2 cm. [1]
The occipitofrontalis muscle (epicranius muscle) is a muscle which covers parts of the skull.It consists of two parts or bellies: the occipital belly, near the occipital bone, and the frontal belly, near the frontal bone.
It is supplied by the supraorbital artery, the supratrochlear artery, and the occipital artery. It is innervated by the facial nerve. The epicranium also includes the skin of the scalp and the layer of subcutaneous tissue below it.
The supratrochlear nerve passes medially [3] above the trochlea of the superior oblique muscle. [2] [3] It then travels anteriorly above the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. [1] It exits the orbit through the supratrochlear notch or foramen. [3] It then ascends onto the forehead beneath the corrugator supercilii muscle and frontalis muscle ...
