Anterior ethmoidal artery
Branch of ophthalmic artery supplying sinuses and nasal cavity.
Last updated
The anterior ethmoidal artery, originating from the ophthalmic artery inside the orbit, travels through the anterior ethmoidal foramen with its accompanying nerve. It provides blood to the ethmoid and frontal sinuses, dura mater, lateral nasal wall, and nasal septum, giving off meningeal and nasal branches.
