Anatomy of the Facial Nerve at the Condylar Area: Measurement Study and Clinical Implications

<div>Three types of branching pattern of facial nerve at the condylar area. (a) Type I (single trunk), (b) Type II (double trunks), and (c) Type III (nervous loop or plexiform). Branches of facial nerve: Tbr: temporal branch; Zbr: zygomatic branch; Bbr: buccal branch; Mbr: marginal mandibular branch; Sb: superior trunk; Ib: inferior trunk.</div>
