Finding the Petroclival Carotid Artery: The Vidian–Eustachian Junction as a Reliable Landmark

Report of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery

Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

CT perfusion of the neck: internal carotid artery versus external carotid artery as the reference artery.

Arterial selection for reference time-enhancement curve generation in deconvolution-based perfusion CT (PCT) studies of the head and neck is under-evaluated. This study of 11 patients with confirmed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma demonstrates significant correlation (range, r = 0.85-0.95) between perfusion parameter values derived with internal carotid artery (ICA) as compared to an exte...

Histological Study of the Elastic Artery, Muscular Artery, and Their Junction in Neonate Dog

Introduction: We did this study because there were a few studies about aorto-branch junction. Methods: Four light microscope and electron microscope study, the abdominal aorta, renal artery, and the adjoining right and left renal arteries were dissected out from 4 neonate dogs. Results: Based on the results, there is only one cell type in the tunica intima of endothelium in both art...
