Infraorbital foramen

Opening in the maxillary bone of the skull

In human anatomy, the infraorbital foramen is one of two small holes in the skull's upper jawbone, located below the eye socket and to the left and right of the nose. Both holes are used for blood vessels and nerves. In anatomical terms, it is located below the infraorbital margin of the orbit. It transmits the infraorbital artery and vein, and the infraorbital nerve, a branch of the maxillary nerve. It is typically 6.10 to 10.9 mm from the infraorbital margin.
