The facial nerve (cn vii) passes through the opening in the temporal bone called the stylomastoid foramen.

<h3>Stylomastoid foramen:</h3>

The foramen between the styloid and mastoid processes of the temporal bone of the skull is known as the stylomastoid foramen. It serves as the facial canal's terminus and carries the facial nerve and stylomastoid artery. Bell's palsy may be brought on by facial nerve irritation in the stylomastoid foramen. An unexplained episode of facial muscular paralysis or weakening is known as Bell's palsy. Over the course of 48 hours, it gets worse suddenly.

The stylomastoid foramen is where the 7th cranial nerve leaves the skull and enters the parotid gland at its deep surface. The nerve splits into two major branches, the temporofacial branch, and the cervicofacial branch, right next to the parotid duct.
