ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the maxillary artery (MA) and its branches. Fourteen sides of Turkish adult cadavers were dissected. The specimens were classified according to the relation between MA and the lateral pterygoid. After the removal of the lateral pterygoid, parts and branches of MA were exposed. We classified the branching patterns of MA in the pterygopalatine fossa. The calibers and lengths of the arteries, and the distance between the zygomatic arch and MA, and between the infratemporal crest and MA were measured. The MA was found superficial to the lateral pterygoid in 57.2 percent. The inferior alveolar artery (IA) was arisen from MA before the middle meningeal artery (MM) in 35.7 percent, after MM in 35.7 percent. The IA and MM were arisen from the same area of MA in 14.3 percent. In other two cases IA was arisen from the beginning of MA (14.3 percent). According to the contours of third portion of MA, we classified "Y" type (50 percent), "intermediate-T" type (14.3 percent), and "M" type (35.7 percent). This reinvestigation of the clinical anatomy of MA may provide useful information to the head and neck surgeons, dentists, neurosurgeons and radiologists related with this region.
RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la anatomía de la arteria maxilar (AM) y sus ramas. Fueron disecados 14 hemicabezas de cadáveres turcos adultos. Las muestras fueron clasificadas de acuerdo a las relaciones entre AM y el músculo pterigoideo lateral. Después de la eliminación del músculo pterigoideo lateral, las partes y las ramas de AM fueron expuestas. Se clasificaron los patrones de ramificación de la AM en la fosa pterigopalatina. El calibre y la longitud de las arterias, la distancia entre el arco cigomático y la AM , y entre la cresta infratemporal y la AM fueron medidas. La AM se encuentra superficial al músculo pterigoideo lateral en el 57,2 por ciento. La arteria alveolar inferior (AI) se originó desde la AM antes que la arteria meníngea media (MM) en el 35,7 por ciento, y después de ésta en el 35,7 por ciento. La AI y MM se originaron en la misma zona de la AM en el 14,3 por ciento. En otros dos casos la AI se originó desde el inicio de AM (14,3 por ciento). De acuerdo con los contornos de la tercera porción de AM, se clasificaron como tipo "Y" (50 por ciento), tipo "intermedio-T" (14,3 por ciento), y de tipo "M" (35,7 por ciento). Esta investigación de la anatomía clínica de la AM puede proporcionar información útil a los cirujanos de cabeza y cuello, odontólogos, neurocirujanos y radiólogos relacionados con esta región.
