Digastric branch of facial nerve

Latin
  
ramus digastricus nervi facialis

The digastric branch of facial nerve arises close to the stylomastoid foramen, and divides into several filaments, which supply the posterior belly of the Digastricus; one of these filaments joins the glossopharyngeal nerve.
