The external carotid artery originates branches to face structures. The superior thyroid, lingual and facial arteries are originated from this vessel as artery trunks or separately. The aim of this study was to determinate the arrangement frequency of these artery branches. For this, thirty six (36) hemi-heads of adult cadavers from both genders were studied. The anatomic parts were fixed in 10...

Background: Knowledge of variations in the origin of vertebral artery (VA) is indispensable to vascular surgeons. Aberrant origin of vertebral artery on either side is an uncommon finding. There are unilateral and bilateral variability in VA origin. Case presentation: We present a case of vertebral artery dissection who was found to have bilateral VAs aberrant origin. The right VA took origin ...

The common carotid artery usually bifurcates into the internal and external carotid arteries at the level of C3-C4. Injury to common carotid artery during neck dissection is encountered rarly. Knowing the anatomical variation of common carotid like low lying bifurcation would prevent inadvertent injury especially by budding head-neck surgeons. We report a case of 46-yearold male undergoing surg...

1024x768 normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background and objective: numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. one physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. in this study, we can predict hem...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We propose to study possible differences in the associations between risk factors for cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction and stroke) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements made at 3 different levels of the carotid bifurcation. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study of a cohort of whites and blacks of both genders with a mean age of 45 yea...
