Abstract: Anatomical knowledge of variations in the branching pattern of the external carotid artery will be helpful in surgical procedures of the head and neck region and also in angiographic studies. Material And Methods: Present study was conducted in the neck region of 25 embalmed human cadavers to find out the variations in the branching pattern of the external carotid artery. Results: Common origin of linguo facial trunk variations was found in 2 cases unilaterally out of 50 cases. Conclusion: Present study concluded the incidence of common linguo facial trunk was 4%. Keywords: linguo facial trunk, External carotid artery, Common carotid artery I. Introduction The common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA) and External carotid arteries (ECA) are provides the major resource of blood to the head and neck region. The CCA bifurcates into an internal carotid artery and an external carotid artery in the carotid triangle at upper border of thyroid cartilage, disc between the C3 and C4 cervical vertebra. The external carotid artery runs antero medial to the internal carotid artery at its origin then becomes anterior and lateral as it ascends.

Professor, Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences, Panjagutta, Hyderabad, Telangana ‑ 500 082, India. E‑mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Selection of recipient vessels is one of the key factors for a successful microvascular reconstruction. Non‑availability of primary recipient vessels in the vicinity necessitates surgeon to approach a remote second‑line vascular access. Transverse cervical vessels (TCV) have been described as second-line vascular access for head-and-neck reconstructions. Due to its location, their use can be extended to the proximal chest and upper arm reconstructions. Aim: The aim of the study is to analyse the reliability of TCV as second‑line recipient vessels for the upper arm and chest reconstructions in addition to the head-and-neck reconstructions. Materials and Methods: During 2010–2017, 14 TCV were explored as the choice of second-line recipient pedicle for specific indications. Clinical experience with different reconstructions discussed. Results: Out of 14 transverse cervical arteries, 13 were of adequate size for anastomosis. About 12 successful reconstructions were performed involving the head and neck (7), proximal thorax (3) and upper arm (2) for indications such as scarring from different aetiology (8), previous free flaps (2) and sacrificed vessels (2).

    ANATOMY & EMBRYOLOGY OF THYROID & PARATHYROID By Prof . Saeed Abuel Makarem & Associate Prof. Sanaa Alshaarawy 1 OBJECTIVES Ò By the end of the lecture, the student should be able to: Ò Describe the shape, position, relations and structure of the thyroid gland. Ò List the blood supply & lymphatic drainage of the thyroid gland. Ò List the nerves endanger with thyroidectomy operation. Ò Describe the shape, position, blood supply & lymphatic drainage of the parathyroid glands. Ò Describe the development of the thyroid & parathyroid glands. Ò Describe the most common congenital anomalies of the thyroid gland. 2 Before we go to the thyroid What are the parts of the deep fascia or deep cervical fascia of the neck? It is divided mainly into 3 layers: 1- Investing layer. 2- Pretracheal layer. 3- Prevertebral layer. 3 Ò Endocrine, butterfly Thyroid gland shaped gland. Ò Consists of right & left lobes. Ò The 2 lobes are connected to each other by a narrow isthmus, which overlies the 2nd ,3rd & 4th tracheal rings. Ò It is surrounded by a facial sheath derived from the pretracheal layer of the deep cervical fascia. 4 Thyroid gland Ò Each lobe is pear- shaped, with its apex reaches up to the oblique line of thyroid cartilage. Ò Its base lies at the level of 4th or 5th tracheal rings. Ò Inside the pretracheal facial capsule, there is another C.T capsule. Ò So, it s surrounded by 2 membranes. 5 Each lobe is pear shape, with its apex directed upward as far as the Anterior oblique line of the thyroid cartilage; its base lies at the 4th or 5th tracheal ring.
