149 Functional Anatomy of the Facial Vasculature in Pathologic Conditions and its Therapeutic Application Alex Berenstein 1 The authors describe the functional anatomy of the facial vascular system, using the Pierre Lasjaunias 1.2 anastomoses between the facial, maxillary, transverse facial, lingual, and ophthalmic Irvin I. Kricheff1 systems to selectively identify the blood flow to a specific territory for embolization and posttreatment evaluation of hemangiomas. In three patients the specific vascular patterns are described and the usefulness of understanding the regional functional anatomy is illustrated for successful embolotherapy of these malformations. The normal anatomy of th e facial artery, its variati ons, and its anastomoses have been reported [1]. The facial artery gives rise to arterial branches, whi ch are th e nourishing vessels to a specific territory, such as the upper lip (i. e. , th e superior labi al artery). The number and size of th e various nourishing arteri es are anatomic elements of local territories. Genetic and developmental factors initiall y determine the anatomy and hemodynamic balance, as vascular regressions and recruitments progress differently in each individual, and on each side of th e face in the same individual. Subsequently, th e " normal " pattern for an individual may become modified by stenotic lesions, hypervascul ar conditions, surgical li gations, or embolizations. These factors affect the anatomic arrangements and the he­ modynam ics of territori al blood supply. Understanding local vascular anatomy, anastomoses, and hemodynamics [1] is c riticall y important for the understanding of pathologic conditions and for planning their treatment by either intravascular or surgical techniques. The anatomic and hemodynamic balance that the facial artery has with the ipsil ateral intern al maxillary, transverse facial, ophthalmic, and lingual arteri es through anastomoti c channels is termed th e functional anatomy of the facial artery. Where one of these arteries is hypoplasti c or occluded, the oth ers wi ll be proportionall y larger and supply a larger territory; however, points of coll ateral anastomoses remain constant [1].

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.

    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.

  • The Muscles of the Jaw Are Some of the Strongest in the Human Body

    The Muscles of the Jaw Are Some of the Strongest in the Human Body

    MUSCLES OF MASTICATION The muscles of the jaw are some of the strongest in the human body. They aid in chewing and speech by allowing us to open and close our mouths. Ready to unlock the mysteries of mastication? Then read on! OF MASSETERS AND MANDIBLES The deep and superficial masseter muscles enable mastication (chewing by pulling the mandible (jawbone) up towards the maxillae. Factoid! Humans’ jaws are able to bite with DEEP a force of about 150-200 psi (890 MASSETER Newtons). In contrast, a saltwater crocodile can bite with a force of 3,700 SUPERFICIAL psi (16, 400 Newtons)! MASSETER MAXILLA (R) 2 MANDIBLE MORE MASSETER FACTS The deep masseter’s origin is the zygomatic arch and the superficial masseter’s origin is the zygomatic bone. Both masseters insert into the ramus of the mandible, though the deep masseter’s insertion point is closer to the temporomandibular joint. The mandible is the only bone in the skull that we can consciously move (with the help of muscles, of course). 3 TEMPORALIS The temporalis muscles sit on either side of the head. Their job is to elevate and retract the mandible against the maxillae. They originate at the temporal fossa and temporal fascia and insert at the coronoid process and ramus of the mandible. 4 LATERAL SUPERIOR PTERYGOIDS HEAD The lateral pterygoids draw the mandibular condyle and articular disc of the temporomandibular joint forward. Each lateral pterygoid has two heads. The superior head originates at the sphenoid and infratemporal crest and the inferior head originates at the lateral pterygoid plate.
