Abstract Purpose The close topographic relationship between vascular and osseous structures in the condylar and subcondylar region and marked variability in the arterial course has been revealed by both imaging and cadaveric studies. This study aimed to verify the previously published information in a large sample and to determine a safe surgical region. Methods We analyzed the three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography images of 300 individuals. Results The mean distance between the middle meningeal artery and the apex of the condyle or the most medial point of the condyle was 18.8 mm (range: 11.2–25.9 mm) or 14.5 mm (range: 8.8–22.9 mm) respectively. The course of the maxillary artery relative to the lateral pterygoid muscle was medial in 45.7% of cases and lateral in 54.3%. An asymmetric course was evident in 66 patients (22%). The mean distance between the maxillary artery and condylar process at the deepest point of the mandibular notch was 6.2 mm in sides exhibiting a medial course (range: 3.7–9.8 mm) and 6.6 mm in sides exhibiting a lateral course (range: 3.9–10.4 mm). The distances were significantly influenced by age, gender, and the course of the maxillary artery. Conclusion Our study emphasizes the marked inter- and intra-individual variability of the maxillary and middle meningeal arterial courses. We confirmed the proximity of the arteries to the condylar process. Extensive surgical experience and thorough preparation for each individual case are essential to prevent iatrogenic vascular injury.

For diseases of the abdominal and pelvic system, especially those of the blood duct system, the main examination methods of the transmission system are color Doppler ultrasound, enhanced CT angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Among them, DSA is the gold standard of angiography, but it is an invasive examination, which is complicated, time-consuming and laborious, and the skill of intubation is very high. Enhanced 3D-CT blood tube imaging has been gradually used in clinic because of its advantages such as fast imaging speed and wide imaging range. It has good vascular imaging conditions and satisfactory vascular imaging results in all parts of the human body, but this examination is radioactive and is not beneficial to young women of childbearing age, children and frail patients. The purpose of this paper is to further illustrate the value of magnetic resonance angiography (CTA) in displaying pelvic vessels by comparing the three-dimensional model of magnetic resonance angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in healthy young women. The results showed that for the venous system, CTA usually showed only the internal and external iliac vein, but not for the uterine vein and other branches of the internal and external iliac vein, and almost no imaging for the anterior sacral vein. CE-MRA can not only display 1-4 grade arteries to the same extent, but also show more branches of superior and inferior gluteal arteries, and show more abundant veins, especially presacral veins. For cases such as gynecological pelvic floor surgery, it is necessary to know the vascular network of presacral region before operation. In a word, for clinical diagnosis and treatment value, the 3D-CT imaging is the first choice.
