Lateral palpebral raphe

Latin
  
raphe palpebralis lateralis

The lateral palpebral raphé is a much weaker structure than the medial palpebral ligament.

It is attached to the margin of the frontosphenoidal process of the zygomatic bone, and passes medialward to the lateral commissure of the eyelids, where it divides into two slips, which are attached to the margins of the respective tarsi.
