Atypical origin of the middle meningeal artery from the cervical internal carotid artery is a rare angiographic finding. We describe a case of the pharyngo-tympano-stapedial variant of the middle meningeal artery in a young patient. In this vascular variation the proximal segment of the middle meningeal artery, corresponding to an annexed inferior tympanic artery, originates from the cervical carotid artery. Then over the promontory it unites with the superior tympanic artery and continues with its intracranial course via the petrous branch.

Deviations from normal embryologic development can manifest in different anatomical variants of the ophthalmic artery. We present a case of an infant treated for a high-flow dural arteriovenous fistula of the superior sagittal sinus, in whom an arterial circle involving the ophthalmic artery, the middle meningeal artery, the inferolateral trunk and a hypoplastic segment of the internal carotid artery was found. The embryologic development is briefly reviewed with emphasis on the possible genesis of this interesting constellation.

✓ The sources of blood supply of calvarial hemangiomas are not well established angiographically but have been reported to derive from the middle meningeal artery. A case is presented in which both the external and the internal carotid arteries supplied the hemangioma. The protean arteriographic picture is explained in terms of the various tissues the tumor involves (galea, calvarium, or meninges).

Ophthalmic artery (OA) is known for anomalous origin and aberrant course probably attributable to its complex embryology. Anomalous origin of OA can be associated with intracranial aneurysm. Anomalous origins have been reported from middle meningeal artery (MMA), cavernous carotid, posterior communicating, anterior cerebral and basilar artery. Even though bilateral anomalous origin of OA from MMA is a rare finding, to the author’s best knowledge, association of above condition with bilateral internal carotid artery aneurysms has not been described in the literature. We present a case of such anomalous bilateral OA originating from MMA and associated with bilateral internal carotid artery aneurysms. We have also reviewed the pertinent literature regarding anomalous OA origin.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the distance from mandibular condyle to internal carotid artery and middle meningeal artery.Methods: In this study 20 skulls obtained from the Department of Anatomy were utilized for the study. The following two parameters were measured using Vernier Caliper (digital). 1. Distance from Mandibular condyle to carotid canal 2. Distance from medial margin of Mandibular condyle to Foramen spinosum. All the measurements were taken thrice to minimize errors. Photograph of the skull base showing the measurements done was captured.Results: A total of 40 sides, 20 right and 20 left sides were studied. The mean distance between medial margin of mandibular condyle to carotid canal was 11.2 mm±0.6 on right side and 11.6mm±0.8 on left side. The mean distance from the medial margin of mandibular condyle to Foramen spinosum (middle meningeal artery) was 9.3 mm±1.1 on right side and 9.8mm±0.9 on left side. Conclusions: The distance between mandibular condyle to Middle meningeal artery is less compared to the distance between Mandibular condyle to carotid artery. The current study concludes that MMA is comparatively at high risk for damage compared to internal carotid artery.

Abstract Objective: Access to the high cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) is technically challenging for the treatment of lesions in and around this region. The aims of this study were to analyze the efficacy of approaching the high cervical ICA through the retromandibular fossa and to compare preauricular and postauricular incisions. In addition, the relevant neural and vascular structures of this region are demonstrated in cadaveric dissections. Methods: The retromandibular fossa approach was performed in four arterial and venous latex-injected cadaveric heads and necks (eight sides) via preauricular and postauricular incisions. This approach included three steps: 1) sternocleidomastoid muscle dissection; 2) transparotid dissection; and 3) removal of the styloid apparatus and opening of the retromandibular fossa to expose the cervical ICA with the internal jugular vein along with Cranial Nerves X, XI, and XII. Results: The posterior belly of the digastric muscle and the styloid muscles were the main obstacles to reaching the high cervical ICA. The high cervical ICA was successfully exposed through the retromandibular fossa in all specimens. In all specimens, the cervical ICA exhibited an S-shaped curve in the retromandibular fossa. The external carotid artery was located more superficially than the ICA in all specimens. The average length of the ICA in the retromandibular fossa was 6.8 cm. Conclusion: The entire cervical ICA can be exposed via the retromandibular fossa approach without neural and vascular injury by use of meticulous dissection and good anatomic knowledge. Mandibulotomy is not necessary for adequate visualization of the high cervical ICA.
