Pseudoaneurysm of the proximal
facial artery presenting as oropharyngeal hemorrhage.
The relevant musculature is best understood as it relates to the
facial artery. The
facial artery is deep to the platysma, risorius, zygomaticus major and minor, levator labii superioris, and levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscles.
Anatomical basis and results of the
facial artery musculomucosal flap for oral reconstruction.
(2006) examined 284 half-heads and observed the behavior and distribution of the facial and upper lip arteries; in 47.5%,
facial artery was bifurcated in the upper lip and in the lateral nasal arteries; in 8.4%,
facial artery ends as the upper lip artery; and in 3.8%, the angle of the artery appears directly from
facial artery rather than as the completion of the lateral nasal artery.
Key Words: Marginal mandibular nerve
facial artery rami relation.
Color Doppler sonography of the
facial artery in the anterior face.
The
facial artery and the posterior facial vein groove the posterior part of the gland.
D) A collateral blood supply to the hemipalate exists from ascending palatine branch of
facial artery.
All mandibular branches were above the mandibular margin as it crossed the
facial artery. In 16 specimens, all branches passed over the
facial artery; in the other 8, they straddled the
facial artery.
Distal to the parotid gland, danger areas where nerve branches became superficial were distal temporal, lower buccal, upper mandibular branches over the masseter muscle, marginal mandibular as it crossed the
facial artery (Rudolph, 1990) (5).
Using the Test t of Student (Table I) it was not observed a significant difference (p [menor que o igual a] 0,05) among the pairs of the average of the distances between the origins of the lingual artery with the
facial artery and the superior thyroid artery of both sides.
