  • 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.

The origin of the left vertebral artery was from the aortic arch. On the right side, no thyrocervical trunk was found. The two branches which normally originate from the thyrocervical trunk had a different origin. The transverse cervical artery arose directly from the subclavian artery and suprascapular artery originated from the internal thoracic artery. This variation provides a short route for posterior scapular anastomoses. An awareness of this rare variation is important because this area is used for diagnostic and surgical procedures.

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.

It is thus considered to be a blood vessel which supports both hard and soft tissues in the maxillofacial region. The maxillary artery is important for bleeding control during operation or superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck cancers. The diagnosis and treatment for diseases appearing in the maxillary artery-dominating region are routinely performed based on image findings such as CT, MRI and angiography. However, validations of anatomical knowledge regarding the Maxillary artery to be used as a basis of image diagnosis are not yet adequate. In the present study, therefore, the running pattern of maxillary artery as well as the type of each branching pattern was observed by using 28 sides from 15 Japanese cadavers. In addition, we also took measurements of the distance between the bifurcation and the origin of the maxillary artery and the inner diameter of vessels.

  • Penetrating Vascular Injuries of the Face and Neck: Clinical and Angiographic Correlation
    855 Penetrating Vascular Injuries of the Face and Neck: Clinical and Angiographic Correlation Charles M. North 1. 2 A retrospective review was made of 139 clinically stable patients who had sustained Jamshid Ahmadi penetrating trauma to the face and neck. The study was done to learn more about the Hervey D. Segall indications for angiography and the impact of angiography upon patient management. Chi-Shing Zee Some relationship between the physical examination and the angiographic findings was found. In the presence of anyone of four physical signs or symptoms (absent pulse, bruit, hematoma, or alteration of neurologic status) there was a 30% incidence of vascular injury. However, it is unlikely that a clinically significant traumatic vascular lesion will be missed if angiography is not obtained when these clinical signs and symptoms are not present. In the group of 78 patients who presented with only a wound penetrating the ' platysma and no other findings or symptoms, just two had vascular injuries on angiograms; one of these lesions was minor and the other did not affect the patient's management. There was a substantially higher rate (50%) of vascular injury in patients with trauma cephalad to the angle of the mandible compared with 11 % of patients who had neck trauma. Gunshot wounds were associated with vascular damage more frequently than were stab wounds. Angiography is often performed in penetrating trauma to the head and neck to evaluate the possibility of vascular injury and to aid in planning appropriate management [1]. Nonetheless, the role of angiography in penetrating head and neck trauma has remained controversial.

  • Dural Arteriovenous Malformation of the Major Venous Sinuses: an Acquired Lesion
    13 Dural Arteriovenous Malformation of the Major Venous Sinuses: An Acquired Lesion Mohammad Y. Chaudhary,1.2 Arteriovenous malformations of the dura are thought to be congenital. However, Ved P. Sachdev3 arteriographic investigations of four patients who, after a head injury, developed dural Soo H. Ch01 arteriovenous fistulae with features of congenital malformations suggest that these Imre Weitzner, Jr.1 abnormal communications may also be acquired. Thrombosis or thrombophlebitis in Smiljan Puljic2 the dural sinus or vein may be the primary event in their formation. The pathogenesis Yun Peng Huang 1 is probably " growth" of the dural arteries normally present in the walls of the sinuses during the organization of an intraluminal thrombus. This may result in a direct communication between artery and vein or sinus, establishing an abnormal shunt. Ultimate fibrosis of the sinus wall and intraluminal thrombus may be the factors responsible for the spontaneous disappearance of such malformations. Most dural arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) that involve th e major venous sinuses present either spontaneously or as incidental findings during arteriog­ raphy performed for other reasons. They occur predominantly in women over age 40 years [1]. The angiomatous network, multiple feeding arteries, numerous arteriovenous (A V) shunts, and occasional association with cerebral angiomas [2], as well as a few cases reported in children [3], suggest that these AVM s are congenital. Thrombosis of the draining sinus or vein is thought to be responsible for the occasional spontaneous disappearance of these lesions [4, 5]. Our experience with four patients who, after a head injury, developed dural AV fistulae with features of congenital malformations prompted a review of th e literature and this report.
