Mimetic muscles in the medial periorbital area have been thought to be innervated solely by the angular nerve. Recently, however, the upper medial palpebral branch and lower palpebral branch were reported as additional motor suppliers in this area. This study aimed to define all the motor nerve systems passing through the medial canthal area.
