introduction: reconstruction of intraoral soft tissue defects is important in restoring function and esthetic. in large defects, there will be demand for regional pedicle flaps or free flaps. hard palate separates nasal and oral cavities. due to the small surface area between flap and remaining palate after surgical resections, optimal blood supply of the flaps for hard palate reconstructions a...

Introduction: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon vascular lesions that can arise in any part of the body. Case Report: In this case study, we presented a huge AVM of the upper lip in a 70-year-old man that he noticed since 5years ago with slow growth in this period. Computed tomography angiography revealed a large AVM with feeders from the right...

the branches of external carotid artery were dissected and studied in six one humped camels.these specimens were preparated from slaughterhouse and fixed in10% formaline. the common carotid artery in one humped camel is divided into three branches , including , occipital artery , internal carotid artery and external carotid artery which in this respect it was similar to that of equine. external...

Introduction: Reconstruction of the oral cavity witha flap design containing the buccal mucosa and buccinator muscle but excluding the facial artery and vein is the topic of these case reports. Case Reports: This article uses random pattern vertically oriented partial thickness buccinator myomucosal flap for intraoral reconstruction in two cases. The first was for lining the mandibular anterior...

T facial artery generally arises from the external carotid artery, just above the lingual artery, at the level of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone in the carotid triangle. It then passes upwards and forwards medial to the ramus of the mandible. It passes deep to the superficial part of the submandibular salivary gland, and winds around the base of the mandible to enter the face at anteroinfe...

During routine dissections carried out in the course of our medical gross anatomy work, an unusual structure was found unilaterally on the left side of an adult male cadaver. Upon investigation, this was determined to be a hugely dilated transverse facial artery. Also noted was the complete absence of the ipsilateral facial artery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of complete agenesis...

The facial artery (FA) normally arises from the external carotid artery (ECA), just above the lingual artery, at the level of greater horn of hyoid bone in the carotid triangle. It then passes obliquely upwards beneath the posterior belly of digastric and stylohyoid muscles sheltered by the ramus of the mandible lying medial to the bone. Here it passes deep to the superficial part of the subman...

Introduction The facial artery generally arises from the anterior portion of the external carotid artery at a point a little above the lingual artery, and then runs forward under cover of the body of the mandible, and then is lodged in a groove on the posterior surface of the submandibular gland. It then curves upward over the body of the mandible at the anterior-inferior angle of the masseter ...
