THE MAXILLARY ARTERY – THE IMPORTANCE OF ITS TOPOGRAPHIC RELATIONS
Abstract:
The maxillary artery, terminal branch of the external carotid artery, alongside the superficial temporal artery, bears great importance in the topographical relations of the infratemporal region. Its situation can be either superficial or deep, depending on the maxillary artery’s topographical relations with the lateral pterygoid muscle. This research highlights the possible variations of the artery with a maximum importance in medical practice.
