Anomalous Origin of the Middle Meningeal Artery from the Petrous Segment of the Internal Carotid Artery Associated with Multiple Cerebrovascular Abnormalities. The Internet Journal of Radiology. 2005 Volume 4 Number 2. Abstract A 25-year-old male with a history of seizure disorder was found incidentally on cerebral angiography to have numerous congenital anomalies of the cerebral vascular system. Among these anomalies were the derivation of the left middle meningeal artery from the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery, the presence of a left cavernous angioma, cavernous origin of the left ophthalmic artery, and an accessory middle cerebral artery. Awareness of cerebral circulatory anatomical anomalies of this nature is of importance to all physicians who plan surgical and endovascular interventions.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • The Ophthalmic Artery Ii
    Brit. J. Ophthal. (1962) 46, 165. THE OPHTHALMIC ARTERY II. INTRA-ORBITAL COURSE* BY SOHAN SINGH HAYREHt AND RAMJI DASS Government Medical College, Patiala, India Material THIS study was carried out in 61 human orbits obtained from 38 dissection- room cadavers. In 23 cadavers both the orbits were examined, and in the remaining fifteen only one side was studied. With the exception of three cadavers of children aged 4, 11, and 12 years, the specimens were from old persons. Method Neoprene latex was injected in situ, either through the internal carotid artery or through the most proximal part of the ophthalmic artery, after opening the skull and removing the brain. The artery was first irrigated with water. After injection the part was covered with cotton wool soaked in 10 per cent. formalin for from 24 to 48 hours to coagulate the latex. The roof of the orbit was then opened and the ophthalmic artery was carefully studied within the orbit. Observations COURSE For descriptive purposes the intra-orbital course of the ophthalmic artery has been divided into three parts (Singh and Dass, 1960). (1) The first part extends from the point of entrance of the ophthalmic artery into the orbit to the point where the artery bends to become the second part. This part usually runs along the infero-lateral aspect of the optic nerve. (2) The second part crosses over or under the optic nerve running in a medial direction from the infero-lateral to the supero-medial aspect of the nerve. (3) The thirdpart extends from the point at which the second part bends at the supero-medial aspect of the optic nerve to its termination.
