Supratrochlear foramen (head)

nicht verwechseln mit: Foramen supratrochleare (Humerus)

The supratrochlear foramen of the head / orbita is the small opening at the medial edge of the superior orbital margin in the frontal bone that transmitts the supratrochlear nerve, artery and vein. When incomplete, it forms a notch. It is variably present, and when absent the neurovascular bundle will simple exit the orbit under the superior orbital margin medially.

It is medial to the supra-orbital foramen, where the supra-orbital nerve, artery and vein exit the orbit.
