One branch of the pterygopalatine ganglion (Trigeminal nerve Maxillary branch) longer and larger than the others is named the nasopalatine nerve (sometimes called the long sphenopalatine nerve). It enters the nasal cavity through the sphenopalatine foramen passes across the roof of the nasal cavity below the orifice of the sphenoidal sinus to reach the septum and then runs obliquely downward and forward between the periosteum and mucous membrane of the lower part of the septum.
