A Study of Variations in the Origin of Facial Artery M Research Article A study of variations in the origin of facial artery M. Vijayalakshmi1*, Thenmozhi M S2, Karthik Ganesh Mohanraj2, C. Satheesh Kumar2 ABSTRACT Introduction: Anatomical variations are among one of the important aspect seen during dissection of the cadaver. Such variations have been described elaborately in anatomical literature, and many such studies are still being reported for the first time. Among the anatomical variations vascular particularly arterial variations are encountered quite often during dissection. Facial artery is the important artery that gives major blood supply to the face. It is one of the anterior branch of external carotid artery (ECA). Origin of facial artery may be separate from ECA, or as linguofacial trunk, or thyrolinguofacial trunk. Materials and Methods: Facial arteries in 42 hemifaces in 21 cadavers were studied and analyzed in the Department of Anatomy at Madras Medical College, Chennai, and Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences, Melmaruvathur. During dissection, the origin of the facial artery is noted and photographed clearly for further analysis. Results: Separate origin of facial artery from ECA was found in 29 out of 42 (69%), common linguofacial trunk was observed in 13 out of 42 (31%), bilateral linguofacial trunk was observed in 5 out of 21 (24%), unilaterally in 3 out of 21 (14%), high origin of facial artery in 1 out of 42 (2%), and hypoplastic or rudimentary facial artery in 1 out of 42 (2%). All the structural variations were photographed for representation. Conclusion: Vascular variations are one of the most important studies on anatomical variations. Such studies and reports throw light on the vascular patterns found in different individuals for surgeons. Thereby, it creates a detailed knowledge about the vascular alterations and alarm about the situation during surgery. The knowledge of these variations is necessary for the surgeons operating on the face during conditions in raising vasculocutaneous flap.

  • The Facial Artery of the Dog
    Oka jimas Folia Anat. Jpn., 57(1) : 55-78, May 1980 The Facial Artery of the Dog By MOTOTSUNA IRIFUNE Department of Anatomy, Osaka Dental University, Osaka (Director: Prof. Y. Ohta) (with one textfigure and thirty-one figures in five plates) -Received for Publication, November 10, 1979- Key words: Facial artery, Dog, Plastic injection, Floor of the mouth. Summary. The course, branching and distribution territories of the facial artery of the dog were studied by the acryl plastic injection method. In general, the facial artery was found to arise from the external carotid between the points of origin of the lingual and posterior auricular arteries. It ran anteriorly above the digastric muscle and gave rise to the styloglossal, the submandibular glandular and the ptery- goid branches. The artery continued anterolaterally giving off the digastric, the inferior masseteric and the cutaneous branches. It came to the face after sending off the submental artery, which passed anteromedially, giving off the digastric and mylohyoid branches, on the medial surface of the mandible, and gave rise to the sublingual artery. The gingival, the genioglossal and sublingual plical branches arose from the vessel, while the submental artery gave off the geniohyoid branches. Posterior to the mandibular symphysis, various communications termed the sublingual arterial loop, were formed between the submental and the sublingual of both sides. They could be grouped into ten types. In the face, the facial artery gave rise to the mandibular marginal, the anterior masseteric, the inferior labial and the buccal branches, as well as the branch to the superior, and turned to the superior labial artery.

It directly attaches to the cranial bones (is incorporated into periosteal layer of dura mater), favors common injuries in course of head trauma. This review describes available data on the MMA considering its varability, or treats specific diseases or injuries where the course of MMA may have clinical impact. Key words: Middle meningeal artery (MMA), aneurysm of the middle meningeal artery, epidural he- matoma, anatomical variation of MMA. TOPOGRAPHY OF THE MIDDLE MENINGEAL ARTERY AND ITS BRANCHES Middle meningeal artery (MMA) [1] is most commonly the strongest branch of maxillary artery (from external carotid artery) [2]. It supplies blood to cranial dura mater, and through the numerous perforating branches it nourishes also periosteum of the inner aspect of cranial bones. It enters the middle cranial fossa through the foramen spinosum, and courses between the dura mater and the inner aspect of the vault of the skull. Next it divides into two terminal branches — frontal (anterior) which supplies blood to bones forming anterior cranial fossa and the anterior part of the middle cranial fossa; parietal branch (posterior), which runs more horizontally toward the back and supplies posterior part of the middle cranial fossa and supratentorial part of the posterior cranial fossa.

SUMMARY: The aim of this study was to investigate the course of the facial vessels according to several mandibular landmarks in living individuals using multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) to determine these related to sex and side. This study was conducted in the Radiology Department, Meram Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University (Konya, Turkey). In total, sixty faces from 30 specimens (15 males and 15 females) with symptoms and signs of vascular disease were evaluated for the facial vessels by MDCTA scan. The facial vessel parameters were measured according to the reference points (mandibular angle, mental protuberance, mental foramen and facial midline). The distance from the point at which the facial artery first appears in the lower margin of the mandible to the mandibular angle for right and left facial artery were observed as 3.53±0.66 cm and 3.31±0.73 cm in males, respectively. These distances were determined as 2.91±0.52 cm and 3.35±0.48 cm in females.

  • Notably the Posterior Cerebral Artery, Do Not Develop Fully Until the Embryo
    THE EMBRYOLOGY OF THE ARTERIES OF THE BRAIN Arris and Gale Lecture delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England on 27th February 1962 by D. B. Moffat, M.D., F.R.C.S. Senior Lecturer in Anatomy, University College, Cardiff A LITTLE OVER 300 years ago, Edward Arris donated to the Company of Barbers and Surgeons a sum of money " upon condicion that a humane Body be once in every yeare hearafter publiquely dissected and six lectures thereupon read in this Hall if it may be had with conveniency, and the Charges to be borne by this Company ". Some years later, Dr. Gale left an annuity to the Company for a similar purpose and it is interesting to note that the first Gale lecturer was a Dr. Havers, whose name is still associated with the Haversian canals in bone. The study of anatomy has changed in many ways since those days and it must be a long time since an Arris and Gale lecturer actually took his text from the cadaver. However, in deference to the wishes of our benefactors, I should like at least to com- mence this lecture by showing you part of a dissection (Fig. 1) which a colleague, Dr. E. D. Morris, and I prepared some years ago for use in an oral examination. We found that in this subject the left internal carotid artery in the neck gave off a. large branch which passed upwards and back- wards to enter the skull through the hypoglossal canal. In the posterior cranial fossa this artery looped caudally and then passed forwards in the midline to form the basilar artery which was joined by a pair of very small vertebral arteries.
