The location and incidence of the zygomaticofacial foramen (ZFF) was studied in 80 dry skulls (160 sides) of unsexed adult skulls of West Anatolian people. The average distances from the ZFF to the frontozygomatic suture, to the zygomaticomaxillary suture, and to the inferior orbital rim were found to be 26.2 +/- 3.2 mm, 18.6 +/- 3.14 mm, and 5.94 +/- 1.43 mm, respectively. The zygomas were evaluated for the number of foramina on their facial aspects. There was none in 25 (15.6%), one in 71 (44.4%), two in 45 (28.1%), three in 10 (6.3%), four in seven (4.4%), and five in two (1.3%) sides. The ZFF was also studied for its distribution around the zygoma by dividing the surface into four anatomical areas. There was no statistical difference between the morphometrical results on both sides. Data regarding the location and variation in the number of the ZFF is important in avoiding zygomatic nerve and vessel injury during surgery, but by virtue of the great variability found, ZFF is an unreliable landmark for maxillofacial surgery.
对80个安纳托利亚西部人群成年无性别干颅骨（160侧）的颧面孔（ZFF）的位置和发生率进行了研究。发现ZFF到额颧缝、颧上颌缝和眶下缘的平均距离分别为26.2±3.2毫米、18.6±3.14毫米和5.94±1.43毫米。对颧骨面部的孔的数量进行了评估。25侧（15.6%）没有孔，71侧（44.4%）有1个孔，45侧（28.1%）有2个孔，10侧（6.3%）有3个孔，7侧（4.4%）有4个孔，2侧（1.3%）有5个孔。还通过将颧骨表面分为四个解剖区域来研究ZFF在颧骨周围的分布情况。两侧的形态测量结果之间没有统计学差异。ZFF位置和数量变异的数据对于避免手术中颧神经和血管损伤很重要，但由于发现其变异性很大，ZFF在颌面外科手术中是一个不可靠的标志。
