Editorial Clinics in Surgery Published: 29 Nov, 2017 Reasons for the Preservation of the Facial Artery in Submandibular Gland Resection Nermin Başerer* Department of ENT, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey Editorial In the elective and curative neck dissection, particularly in the oral cavity and perioral region cancer, submandibular gland is resected with the content of the cervical level 1. Oncologically submandibular gland and peri-intraglandular lymphatics are removed together to prevent or cure lymphatic metastases. The facial artery is usually unguarded despite the protection of the marginal mandibular nerve. In the dissection of submandibular gland, the facial artery and vein (facial pedicle) are divided and ligated as a conventional technique. However, there is a great importance of preserving the facial artery in our modern reconstruction surgery. A few anterior branches of facial artery enter the submandibular gland. Therefore, the surgeon can easily ligate these small branches without losing time, consequently preserve facial artery. Nowadays, various pedicled and free flap reconstructions are routinely applied in the head and neck cancer surgery. The superior thyroid artery and facial artery are the most preferred adequate recipient arteries in free flap application. Moreover, facial artery and maxillary artery make anastomosis between external and internal carotid arteries. This anastomosis is performed with its terminal angular artery. The roles in the haemodynamic compensation of the carotid system, and the use in free flap should be remembered. Facial artery should not be ligated unnecessarily.

Correlation of CT Cerebral Vascular Territories with Function: 3. Middle Cerebral Artery
161 Correlation of CT Cerebral Vascular Territories with Function: 3. Middle Cerebral Artery Stephen A. Berman 1 Schematic displays are presented of the cerebral territories supplied by branches of L. Anne Hayman2 the middle cerebral artery as they would appear on axial and coronal computed Vincent C. Hinck 1 tomographic (CT) scan sections. Companion diagrams of regional cortical function and a discussion of the fiber tracts are provided to simplify correlation of clinical deficits with coronal and axial CT abnormalities. This report is the third in a series designed to correlate cerebral vascular territories and functional anatomy in a form directly applicable to computed tomog raphy (CT). The illustrations are intended to simplify analysis of CT images in terms of clinical signs and symptoms and vascular territories in everyday practice. The anterior and posterior cerebral arteries have been described [1 , 2] . This report deals with the middle cerebral arterial territory. Knowledge of cerebral vascular territories can help in differentiating between infarction and other pathologic processes. For example, if the position and extent of a lesion and the usual position and extent of a vascular territory are incongruous, infarction should receive relatively low diagnostic priority and vice versa. Knowledge of vascular territories can also facilitate correct interpretation of cerebral angio grams by pinpointing specific vessels for particularly close attention. Knowledge of functional neuroanatomy applied to a patient's clinical findings can improve detection of subtle lesions by pinpointing specific areas for special attention on CT and specific vessels for attention on angiograms. Discussion The largest area of the brain that is normally supplied by the vessel(s) of the middle cerebral territory is indicated in figures 1 and 2.

Published November 3, 2011 as 10.3174/ajnr.A2735 Combined Endovascular and Surgical Approach for the Treatment of Palpebral Arteriovenous ORIGINAL RESEARCH Malformations: Experience of a Single Center F. Clarenc¸on BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Palpebral AVMs (pAVMs) are rare vascular lesions for which the treat- R. Blanc ment is challenging. Our aim was to present the technical aspects of the presurgical treatment by interventional neuroradiology of pAVMs and to report the clinical and angiographic results of combined C.-J. Lin (interventional neuroradiology/surgery) treatment of these malformations. C. Mounayer O. Galatoire MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine patients (5 females, 4 males) with a mean age of 22 years (range, 12–35 years) were treated in our department from December 1992 to April 2007 for superficial pAVMs. S. Morax Seven patients presented with isolated pAVMs, while 2 had hemifacial AVMs. Ten TAE procedures, by J. Moret using a liquid embolic agent (glue or Onyx) or microparticles, were performed in 7 patients. Six patients M. Piotin underwent absolute alcohol, glue, or sclerotic agent injection by direct puncture in 8 procedures. Clinical and angiographic follow-up were performed with a mean delay of, respectively, 6.3 and 5 years. RESULTS: Three patients had a single EVT. Iterative procedures were performed in 5 patients. In 1 patient, EVT was not performed because of the risk of occlusion of the central retinal artery. No complication occurred except 1 case of transient palpebral hematoma. No visual acuity loss related to an endovascular procedure was reported. Exclusion of the AVMs at the end of the procedure was Ͼ75% in all cases and total in 3/8 cases.

Study of Capabilities of Making Detection Device for Cerebral Ischemic State
Medical Research and Innovations Review Article ISSN: 2514-3700 Study of capabilities of making detection device for cerebral ischemic state Lobekin VN, Petrov RV, Bichurin MI*, Rebinok AV and Sulimanov RA Novgorod State University, Russia Abstract Problems and causes of brain ischemia have been considered. Relevance of the given problem has been revealed, considering the fact that, on average, the incidence of acute brain circulation disorders of ischemic type makes up to 3,5 % of population. The problem may be solved by the way of dopplerography which allows examining speed and direction of blood flow. The characteristic of this method is that measurement is performed at contralateral extra-intracranial periorbital arterial anastomoses at the level of angular and supratrochlear arteries which pass near each eye, thus, the duration of examination shortens. The important feature of performance of anastomoses of extracranial level is that they can be activated extremely quickly to compensate brain hypoxia; these are the so-called true group of anastomoses. Techniques and devices to diagnose the condition of brain have been pointed out. The variant of a mobile and portable device to detect ischemic state of brain has been suggested. The device works due to Doppler effect, and sensors are positioned to measure accurately the speed and direction of blood flow. Advantages of the given device are the examination of ischemic condition of affected visual organs and brain, as well as the analysis of both blood speed and direction. Introduction sleeplessness, frequent headaches, bad memory may be the symptoms of ischemic disease of brain vessels (circulation disorders). The disease Worldwide, the diseases of cardiovascular system are the leading may be acute or chronic.

ISSN 2321-4287 Original Research Article DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.16965/ijar.2017.510 A STUDY ON COURSE AND VARIATIONS OF FACIAL ARTERY ON THE FACE Vasudha T.K 1, Divya Shanthi D’Sa *2, Sadashivana Gowda 3. 1 Associate Professor, Department of Anatomy, Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences, Shimoga, Karnataka, India. *2 Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences, Shimoga, Karnataka, India. 3 Professor, Department of Anatomy, Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences, Shimoga, Karnataka, India. ABSTRACT Introduction: Face is mainly supplied by the Facial artery supplemented by transverse facial artery. Variations in the course and branching pattern of facial artery are commonly seen. The understanding of these variations of facial artery plays a very important role in facio-maxillary surgeries. It is also of immense importance to radiologists in interpreting facial artery angiography. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences on 50 formalin fixed adult hemi-faces irrespective of sex. The branching pattern, terminations and variations of facial artery on the face were studied. The facial artery predominantly terminated as angular artery in 28 (56%) hemi-faces, as superior labial artery in 15 (30%) hemi-faces and as lateral nasal artery in 6 (12%) hemi-faces. Results: An inconstant posterior (pre-masseteric) branch of facial artery was observed in 3 (6%) hemi-faces. In one of the hemi-face we found a deviation in the usual course of facial artery, where the artery deviated towards the infra-orbital foramen then continued and terminated as the lateral nasal artery.
