BACKGROUND To analyze the face vascularization pattern using B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography, and also propose an arterial vessel mapping. MATERIAL AND METHODS The investigation was performed on 20 ultrasonography exams of facial vessels through linear and endocavitary transducers. We analyzed and determined the average values for diameters, peak systolic velocity and resistive index of th...

The present case report describes a complication involving facial blanching symptoms occurring during inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia (IANBA). Facial blanching after IANBA can be caused by the injection of an anesthetic into the maxillary artery area, affecting the infraorbital artery.

Facial fractures, specifically orbitozygomatic and zygomaticomaxillary complex are well-documented common injuries. Pseudoaneurysm formation following cerebrovascular blunt trauma is a rarely experienced complication with an incidence rate of less than 1% only few cases reported in the literature. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm sphenopalatine artery (SPA), deepest branch maxillary artery, extremely r...

OBJECTIVE In microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm, the perforating branches around the facial nerve root exit zone occasionally complicate facial nerve decompression. In this context, the vertebrobasilar configuration was retrospectively correlated with the perforating branches. METHODS Based on vertebral angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and three dimensional computed ...

The external carotid artery and its branches were investigated in hens by an acrylic plastic injection method. 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 ...

Abstract We present a case of 32-year-old male with left-sided Goldenhar Syndrome and delta phalanx the thumb, who was offered free tissue transfer from forearm to address an intra-oral soft deficiency. Despite presence appropriately developed right radial artery, used in previous facial reconstruction, left artery occurred be hypoplastic. He ultimately underwent flap based on anomalous persist...

Facial artery is the principal artery of the face. It is a branch of external carotid artery, given off in the carotid triangle of the neck. It runs upwards and forwards in the submandibular region winding around the superficial part of the submandibular gland and the base of the mandible. It enters the face after piercing the investing layer of deep cervical facia. On the face, the artery has ...

Facial artery musculomucosal flaps (FAMM) are frequently utilised to restore medium-sized abnormalities after surgical removal of oral malignancies. This case series provides an overview how patients chosen for FAMM flap surgery, the operative anatomy, procedure, and benefits in reconstruction.
