Knowledge of clinical anatomy in the neck region is useful for the diagnosis of primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes. Arteries and nerves in the neck region of forty Japanese cadavers (80 cases), 18 males (36 cases) and 22 females (44 sides) were studied by dissection. We obtained the following results. Reverse of the location of the external and internal carotid arteries was found in 5 cases (6.3%). The course of the hypoglossal nerve made an acute curve and ran anterior-inferior in the neck region. In regard to the height of bifurcation of the common carotid artery (CC), high bifurcation was seen in 25 (31.2%), standard bifurcation in 46 (57.5%), and low bifurcation in 9 (11.3%) in a total of 80 cases. Furthermore, the facial artery had the largest inner diameter among the branches of the external carotid artery. Based on these findings, the facial artery will be one of the most beneficial arteries for transplantation as a recipient artery.

“…The diameters of cervical blood vessels used as feeding arteries during vascularized free-flap grafting after malignant-tumor resection have been reported sporadically 38,39) . To our knowledge, however, no previous study has measured the luminal diameters of the main trunk of the maxillary artery and its branches.…”

Key Words: Maxillary artery, running pattern of maxillary artery, intraarterial chemotherapy, inner diameter of vessels Summary: The Maxillary artery is a component of the terminal branch of external carotid artery and distributes the blood flow to upper and lower jawbones and to the deep facial portions. It is thus considered to be a blood vessel which supports both hard and soft tissues in the maxillofacial region. The maxillary artery is important for bleeding control during operation or superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck cancers. The diagnosis and treatment for diseases appearing in the maxillary artery-dominating region are routinely performed based on image findings such as CT, MRI and angiography. However, validations of anatomical knowledge regarding the Maxillary artery to be used as a basis of image diagnosis are not yet adequate. In the present study, therefore, the running pattern of maxillary artery as well as the type of each branching pattern was observed by using 28 sides from 15 Japanese cadavers. In addition, we also took measurements of the distance between the bifurcation and the origin of the maxillary artery and the inner diameter of vessels. These findings thus obtained could contribute to knowledge of improved accuracy of image diagnosis as an index for embolization and for knowledge of an adequate superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy.
