Abstract:
Objective: To provide anatomical basis for the chemotherapy of lingual arterial embolization in clinic. Methods: The origin, course, branch distribution and anastomosis of the lingual artery were observed in 15 cases of adult head specimens. Results: As one of principal branches, the lingual artery arises from the external carotid artery at the level of the major cornu of hyoeides, approaches to the carotid bifurcation. With original diameter of (2.4?0.3) mm, it runs upward and passes deepwards to the hyoglossus muscle, gives off the dorsal lingual artery and the terminal branch -profunda lingual artery. Limited in each side of intrinsic muscles, two profunda lingual arteries creep tortuously along the muscular fibers and anastomose freely to structure submucous arterial rete. Conclusion: With concentrated origins, wide vascular diameter, constant course and enrichment of submucous arterial rete, the lingual artery is an ideal blood vessel for arterial chemoembolization.
