The common carotid artery of hens bifurcated into the internal and external carotid arteries at the level of the second cervical vertebra. The external carotid artery advanced antero-superiorly within the platysma, stylohyoid, and occipitomandibular muscles at the postero-lateral side of the pharynx. Thereafter, it bifurcated into the anterior palatine and facial arteries between the pharynx and capitis rectus muscle at the posterior side of the medial mandibular process of the articular bone. The exter- nal carotid artery sent out the following branches: the occipital, hyomandibular, anterior temporal, sublingual, anterior palatine, and facial arteries. artery in birds.

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.

  • Lingual Perimandibular Vessels Associated with Life-Threatening Bleeding: an Anatomic Study
    Mardinger.qxd 1/25/07 2:55 PM Page 127 Lingual Perimandibular Vessels Associated with Life-Threatening Bleeding: An Anatomic Study Ofer Mardinger, DMD1/Yifat Manor, DMD2/Eitan Mijiritsky, DMD3/Abraham Hirshberg, MD, DMD4 Purpose: To describe the anatomy of the lingual perimandibular vessels and emphasize the distance to the bone. Materials and Methods: The hemifacial lower third was dissected in 12 human cadavers. The blood vessels in the floor of the mouth were exposed using sagittal incisions at the canine, mental foramen, and second molar areas. Results: The diameter of the dissected vessels ranged from 0.5 to 3 mm (mean, 1.5 mm). Most vessels were found superior to the mylohyoid muscle in the canine area and beneath the muscle in the mental and second molar areas. The smallest median vertical distance from blood vessel to bone was in the canine area (14.5 mm), followed by the mental foramen area (15.5 mm) and the second premolar area (19 mm). The median horizontal distance of the vessels from the lingual plate was 2 mm at the canine and second molar areas and 4 mm at the mental area. Discussion: Lingual plate perforation, especially anterior to the canine area, can easily injure blood vessels in the floor of the mouth and cause life-threatening hemorrhage following implant placement. Bleeding can occur when the mandibular lingual plate is perforated. Care should be taken to recognize situations where this complication may occur. Conclusions: Based on the study of human cadavers, it appears that vessels in the floor of the mouth are sometimes in close proximity to the site of implant placement.

Hanai) (With one table, two textfigures and 16 figures in 4 plates) -Received for Publication, November 1, 1978- Key Words : Floor of mouth, Artery, Corrosion cast, Comparative anatomy Summary. The arterial distributions in the region of the floor of the mouth in the rat were studied by means of the acryl plastic injection method. 1. The region and its related tissues were supplied mainly by branches of the sub- lingual artery of the facial, and partly by branches of the tonsillar of the facial and branches of the ascending palatine of the lingual. 2. Branches of the sublingual artery were the submandibular lymph node branch, the muscular branches, the submental branch, the mandibular transversal branches, the mucous branch, the genioglossal branches, the preincisive branch, the retroincisive branch and the alveolar branch. 3. Branches of the tonsillar artery were the mucous branch and the mylohyoid branches. 4. A forward branch and small twigs of the ascending palatine were distributed to the posterior small part of the region. 5. Between the above-mentioned branches and the lingual artery, any marked anastomoses were not observed.

  • The Hybrid Submental Flap for Tongue Reconstruction Y Todd C
    The Hybrid Submental Flap for Tongue Reconstruction y Todd C. Hanna, DDS, MD,* and Joshua E. Lubek, DDS, MD Purpose: To describe a hybrid submental flap using pedicled and microvascular techniques to circum- vent a restricting vascular anatomy and increase the rotational arc of the skin paddle. Methods and Materials: This case report and literature review describes a hybrid submental flap. A standard submental island flap was planned and elevated for reconstruction of an acquired lateral tongue defect secondary to oncologic ablation. Aberrant venous anatomy was encountered in which the submen- tal vein drained directly into the internal jugular vein, thus limiting the arc of rotation. The facial vein was ligated at its branch point from the internal jugular vein and anastomosed to the external jugular vein. Medical records were reviewed, including clinical and operative notes. A standard free flap postoperative protocol was adhered to, including aspirin, enoxaparin sodium, flap checks, and internal monitoring using a venous Flow Coupler (Synovis Micro Companies Alliance, Inc, Birmingham, AL). Results: The hybrid submental flap was used effectively for lateral tongue reconstruction. Hybridization of the flap allowed for increased pedicle length and mobilization of the skin paddle. The flap remained well perfused postoperatively, with excellent speech and swallow function after adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Conclusion: The hybrid submental flap is technically feasible and can be a valuable bailout procedure when aberrant vascular anatomy limits the arc of rotation. Ligation and anastomosis of the vein, versus the artery, is more likely to be required because of the more variable drainage patterns and potential valves that would prevent retrograde flow in a Y-V procedure.

  • Rare Variation of Submental Artery Extending Into Inferior Labial Artery
    Institute of Experimental Morphology, Pathology and Anthropology with Museum Bulgarian Anatomical Society Acta morphologica et anthropologica, 27 (3-4) Sofia ● 2020 Rare Variation of Submental Artery Extending Into Inferior Labial Artery Albert Gradev, Lina Malinova, Lazar Jelev* Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Medical University of Sofia, Bulgaria * Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] During routine anatomical dissection of a 68-year-old Caucasian male cadaver we found a large sized left submental artery which after supplying the structures in submandibular triangle crossed the mandibular body and further extended into the inferior labial artery. After reviewing the literature, we discuss the variations in the inferior lip blood supply and their possible clinical significance. Key words: submental artery; inferior labial artery; arterial variations; clinical significance; human Introduction The submental artery is the largest branch of the facial artery in the neck, which can be identified within the submandibular triangle, parallel to the body of the mandible. At this location, it supplies the overlying skin and adjacent muscles and also the chin and contributes to inferior lip blood supply by anastomosing with the inferior labial and mental arteries [7, 8]. These anastomoses are named vertical labiomental arteries [2, 11]. Sometimes such arterial anastomose may enlarge and become the major blood supply to the lower lip together with the inferior labial artery [5]. Case report We discovered a rare variation of the lower lip blood supply during a routine anatomical dissection of a 68-year-old Caucasian male cadaver from the authopsy material of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology at the Medical University of Sofia.
