Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The nerve to the stapedius is a branch of the facial nerve (CN VII) which innervates the stapedius muscle.[1] It arises from the CN VII within the facial canal,[2] opposite the pyramidal eminence. It passes through a small canal in this eminence to reach the stapedius muscle.[3]
