German term

Stirnast

Facialismotilität deutlich gebessert, Auge wird problemlos komplett geschlossen; Stirnast fast symmetrisch, Mundast deutlich gebessert.

This is from the same medical report as my previous question. The patient has suffered a right partial facial paralysis.

The text actually has "Stirnarst' but I think that is a typo. Is 'frontal branch' the right idea?

Now I think you can also translate frontal branch (as also Stirnast is not anatomically exact), see e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&d...

I did a google search and found a number of hits for 'frontal branch of the facial nerve' so I gather it does exist.

That must be a typo, and I'd go for "frontal branch" as well.

Nice illustration here, and in several languages:

neutral MMUlr : sorry, but your source names branches of an artery, not the facial nerve. see http://www.emedicine.com/ent/topic8.htm (there is no 'frontal branch' of the nerve IMO).

oje, das ist mir entgangen. To Zanzibar By Motor Car, ich weiß -- aber irgendwie finde ich es merkwürdig, dass das alles so undurchsichtig ist

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thankyou. I noticed that the reference given was related to arteries but the same term apparently also relates to the facial nerve according to my google searches. "
