the carotid sinus is a modification in the vascular wall near the bifurcation each common carotid artery and acts as baroreceptor. in this study 16 adult and apparently healthy buffaloes ie. 8 male and 8 female used for the as well as macroscopic orientation microscopic study of the carotid sinus. our study revealed that in the buffalo, carotid sinus is a dilatation in common carotid artery at ...

BACKGROUND Recent evidence has shown that some cases of occipital neuralgia are attributable to musculofascial compression of the greater occipital nerve and improve with neurolysis. A mechanical interaction at the intersection of the nerve and the occipital artery may also be capable of producing neuralgia, although that mechanism remains one theoretical possibility among several. The authors ...

The carotid is a small mass of chemoreceptor's and sustentacular cells that detects changes in the composition of the arterial blood. The aim of the present study was to identify the size, color, location, blood and nerve supply of the carotid body in Makouei sheep. Fourteen heads of sheep from both sexes were collected from Urmia public slaughter-house. The exact situation and nerve supply of ...

BACKGROUND Surgical release of the greater occipital nerve has been demonstrated to be clinically effective in eliminating or reducing chronic migraine symptoms. However, migraine symptoms in some patients continue after this procedure. It was theorized that a different relationship between the greater occipital nerve and occipital artery may exist in these patients that may be contributing to ...

The occipital branches of the posterior cerebral artery were examined in 31 human brains. The authors determined the origin, course, and region of supply of each occipital branch: the parieto-occipital, calcarine, posterior temporal, and common temporal arteries, as well as the lingual gyrus artery. These vessels were found in all the brains examined except the lingual gyrus artery, which was p...

To identify the anatomical variations of main branches external carotid artery (lingual, facial, occipital, ascending pharyngeal and sternocleidomastoid), giving information about calibers origins with aim creating a new classification useful in clinical practice. 193 human embalmed body-donors were dissected. The data collected analyzed using Chi² test. results previous studies reviewed. major...

Giant cell arteritis is a systemic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects medium and large sized arteries. Usually, the temporal artery involved. In rare cases, patient experiences symptoms elsewhere, like occipital region. such case, biopsy of could be considered.Hardly any literature available on how to perform biopsy. this case report we aim describe procedure in detail, with focus imp...
