Motor Nerve to the Masseter: A Pediatric Anatomic Study and the “3:1 Rule”

The motor nerve to the masseter (masseteric nerve) provides a robust local neural source for facial reanimation and nerve transfer. Its intraoperative identification is well-described in adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the location of the motor nerve to the masseter in the pediatric population using surgical landmarks.
