Nerve Temporal Deep Anterior

The deep anterior temporal nerve (nervus temporalis profundus anterior) is one of the nerves that is part of the temporal branch of the trigeminal nerve. It is responsible for the innervation of the temporal region, including the skin, muscles and nerves that pass through this area.

The temporal deep anterior nerve originates in the temporal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, located in the brain. It then passes through the temporal bone and exits the skull through the large foramen ovale.

The nerve passes through the temporomandibular joint and enters the temporalis muscle, where it innervates its fibers. The nerve then passes through the temple and the skin of the temporal region.

Dysfunction of the temporal deep anterior nerve can lead to various problems related to the skin and muscles of the temporal region, such as loss of sensation, pain, numbness and muscle weakness.

Various methods are used to treat deep anterior temporal nerve dysfunction, including surgery, physical therapy, and medication. It is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment to prevent the development of complications and improve the patient's quality of life.
