MICROSURGICAL ANATOMY OF THE SUPRACLINOIDAL SEGMENT OF THE INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY AND THE OPHTHALMIC ARTERY / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

The supraclinoidal segments of 50 carotid internal arteries were studied in 25 adult cadavers.The supraclinoidal segment was divided into the ophthalmic arterial por- tion,the communicational arterial portion and the choroidalarterial portion.The ophthalmic arterial portion of the supraclinoidal segment sent off the ophthalmic artery,the superior hypophyseal artery and the hypothalamic branch.The microsur- gical anatomy of the ophthalmic artery was specially studied.
