Ophthalmic Branch of Trigeminal Nerve (CN V1)
- Target
- CN V1
- Molecular classification
- Peripheral Nerve, Sensory Nerve
01
Overview
The ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V1) is the smallest and most superior of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve. It is a purely sensory nerve responsible for transmitting sensory information from the upper face, scalp, and parts of the nasal cavity and sinuses to the brain. It has three main branches: the frontal, lacrimal, and nasociliary nerves, each providing sensation to specific regions. While not a therapeutic target itself, its function and integrity are crucial for maintaining sensory input and reflexes in the ophthalmic region, and it is implicated in conditions like trigeminal neuralgia.
