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 .
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. It finally divides into sensory branches. [citation needed] The supratrochlear nerve travels with the supratrochlear artery, a branch of the ophthalmic artery. [2]
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 short posterior ciliary arteries contribute arterial supply to the choroid, ciliary processes, [3] optic disc, the outer retina, and Bruch's membrane. [1]Some branches of the short posterior ciliary arteries supply the optic disc by means of an anastomotic ring - the circle of Zinn-Haller or circle of Zinn - which is associated with the fibrous extension of the ocular tendons (common ...
The supraorbital artery is a branch of the ophthalmic artery. It passes anteriorly within the orbit to exit the orbit through the supraorbital foramen or notch alongside the supraorbital nerve , splitting into two terminal branches which go on to form anastomoses with arteries of the head.
