High-Yield Explanation
Auriculotemporal nerve arises by two roots which run backward, encircle the middle meningeal aery, and unite to form a single trunk. The nerve continues backward between the neck of the mandible and the sphenomandibular ligament above the maxillary aery. Behind the neck of the mandible, it turns upwards and ascends on the temple behind the superficial temporal vessels. Ref BDC volume 3; 6th edition pg 125
