ABSTRACT
It is important to know the arterial anatomy within the lateral cervical region before the flap-planning. We evaluated the arterial anatomy in this area using multidetector computed tomography (CT) angiography and our aim was to establish the arterial variations. Both sides of individuals in a total number of 155 carotid CT angiographies are reviewed by using 64-detector CT, retrospectively. The variations of suprascapular artery, superficial cervical artery, dorsal scapular artery that are inclusive of the lateral cervical region were assessed. Three arteries originated individually in 67 (23.8 %) sides. They arose by trunk formation in 214 (76.2 %) sides. The most common type of trunk formation was cervicodorsal trunk (107; 38 %). The others were cervicoscapular trunk, cervicodorsoscapular trunk, dorsoscapular trunk and detected in 66 (23.4 %), 40 (14.3 %), 1 (0.3 %) sides, respectively. The origins of arteries within the lateral cervical region may show variations and they may originate from subclavian artery or its branches individually or by trunk formations. It may be beneficial to know these variations before the reconstructive surgical procedures in head and neck. CT angiography is a non-invasive method that enables to evaluate the arterial anatomy and variations in this area.
RESUMEN
Es importante conocer la anatomía arterial de la región cervical lateral antes de la planificación de un colgajo. Evaluamos la anatomía arterial en esta área mediante angiografía con tomografía computarizada (TC) multidetector con el objetivo de establecer las variaciones arteriales. Se revisaron retrospectivamente un total de 155 angiografías de ambos lados de la región cervical lateral por tomografía computarizada multidetector. Se evaluaron las variaciones anatómicas de las arterias supraescapular, cervical superficial y escapular dorsal. Las tres arterias se originaron individualmente en 67 casos (23,8 %). Surgieron por formación de un tronco en 214 casos (76,2 %). El tipo más común de formación del tronco fue el tronco cervicodorsal (107 casos; 38 %). Los otros troncos hallados fueron el tronco cervicoescapular, el tronco cervicodorsoescapular, el tronco dorsoescapular, en 66 casos (23,4 %), 40 casos (14,3 %) y 1 caso (0,3 %), respectivamente. Los orígenes de las arterias en la región cervical lateral pueden mostrar variaciones y las arterias pueden originarse desde la arteria subclavia o sus ramas, individualmente o por formaciones de tronco. Puede ser beneficioso conocer estas variaciones antes de los procedimientos quirúrgicos reconstructivos en cabeza y cuello. La angiografía por TC es un método no invasivo que permite evaluar la anatomía arterial y las variaciones en esta área.
