“…7 Minimum diameters of the accessory branches were 0.2 mm in the facial artery and 0.1 mm in the submental artery. 7 Both cadaveric studies were used with a microscope or magnifying glasses, and the facial arteries were completely dissected. 7,8 In a clinical study of 25 patients who underwent conventional transcervical SMG removal with facial artery preservation, the mean number of the glandular branch of the facial artery was 3.1 (range 1-4).…”

“…7,8 The SMG was mainly supplied by the facial artery (97%-100%) and submental artery (90%-100%), partly by the deep lingual artery (13.3%), lingual artery (6.1%-6.7%), external carotid artery (3.0%), and ascending palatine artery (3.0%). 7,8 Cadaveric study of 60 SMGs showed that the mean number of arterial branches was 3.7 and the trunk of the facial artery frequently gave off 1 to 3 branches (mean 2.1) to the SMG. 8 In a recent cadaveric study of 33 SMGs, each SMG received a mean of 3.7 branches (range 2-5), and facial artery and submental artery had 0 to 3 branches (mean 1.6) and 1 to 3 branches (mean 2.0), respectively.…”

: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical anatomy of the feeding artery of the submandibular gland (SMG). A total of 199 SMG removals were performed in extraoral or intraoral approach with/without endoscopic assistance by a single surgeon. The feeding artery of the SMG was always identified intraoperatively and recorded in the operation record. The clinical anatomy of the feeding artery of the SMG was investigated based on the intraoperative findings. The facial artery was ligated and transected for the involvement of tumor or severe inflammation in 16 (8.0%) procedures. The feeding artery was investigated in the remaining 183 procedures. The mean number of the glandular branch was 1.5. There were 1 branch in 98 procedures (53.6%), 2 branches in 80 procedures (43.7%), and 3 branches in 5 procedures (2.7%). Detailed anatomical knowledge of the feeding artery of the SMG is useful for proper dissection of the SMG and preservation of the facial artery.

“…According to the literature, normal glands are hyperechoic compared to the adjacent muscles 20 . As reported, the glands' normal vascularity tends to follow the main lobe's hilum axis, and the feeding or draining main vessels are closely attached to the periphery of the glands 20–22 . The lacrimal gland's arterial supply is mainly provided by the lacrimal artery (branch of the ophthalmic artery) 22 …”

Objectives To detect ultrasonographic inflammatory signs in the lacrimal, parotid, and submandibular glands in cosmetic fillers (CFs) users. Methods A prospective and cross‐sectional ultrasound study of the glands in cases with CFs was performed. The sample included users of hyaluronic acid, silicone oil, polymethylmethacrylate, polycaprolactone, calcium hydroxyapatite, and polyacrylamide. Abnormalities of the parenchyma and hypervascularity signs of the glands were compared with a control group (n = 10), evaluated by 2 observers, and correlated with the type, number, and location of the facial CFs. Cohen's kappa test and logistic regression models with odds ratios (OR) adjusted by age with 95% CI were performed. Results Sixty‐three patients with CFs met the criteria. Parotid and submandibular glands had the highest percentage of parenchymal involvement: 87.3 and 88.9%, respectively (p <.01). Abnormalities of the echostructure of the parenchyma and hypervascularity of the glands were detected with all kinds of fillers without significant differences per type. A significant substantial interrater kappa (0.61) with an agreement of 90% for all glands among observers was found. Conclusion Users of common types of CFs frequently present subclinical ultrasonographic signs of inflammation of the lacrimal, parotid, and submandibular glands. Further research on the topic seems necessary.

ObjectivesThe Salivary Gland Committee of the American Academy of Otolaryngology‐Head and Neck Surgery seeks to standardize terminology and technique for ultrasonograpy used in the evaluation and treatment of salivary gland disorders.MethodsDevelopment of expert opinion obtained through interaction with international practitioners representing multiple specialties. This committee work includes a comprehensive literature review with presentation of case examples to propose a standardized protocol for the language used in ultrasound salivary gland assessment.ResultsA multiple segment proposal is initiated with this focus on the submandibular gland. We provide a concise rationale for recommended descriptive language highlighted by a more extensive supplement that includes an extensive literature review with additional case examples.ConclusionRecommendations are provided to improve consistency both in performing and reporting submandibular gland ultrasound.
