Anatomic features of the intracranial and intracanalicular portions of ophthalmic artery: for the surgical procedures
WOS: 000238317600007PubMed ID: 16775743The intracranial and intracanalicular portions of the ophthalmic artery is suspectible to various diseases and injuries; therefore, knowledge of the microanatomy of the complex bony, dural, vascular, and neural relationships of this segment is necessary for proper diagnosis and preservation of the neurovascular structures during subfrontal, pterional and intracanalicular procedures. The artery was studied in 38 human adult cadaver specimens regarding origin, intracranial and intracanalicular portions for surgical approachs. The ophthalmic artery originated from the intradural portion of the internal carotid artery, except in 5% where the ophthalmic artery originated extradurally. The ophthalmic artery originated from medial of superior wall of internal carotid artery in 73.7%, from the central in 21% and the lateral in 5.3% of the specimens. The diameter of the ophthalmic artery at its origin was 2.25 +/- 0.3 mm on the right and 2.16 +/- 0.4 mm on the left. The intracranial and intracanalicular course of the artery was divided into short limb, angle "a", long limb, angle "b" and distal part to the apex of the orbit. Awareness of variations in anatomic structures is paramount importance both for diagnosis and treatment of vascular lesions of the brain
