Abstract
Introduction: The anterior ethmoid artery (AEA) is commonly encountered in sinus surgery and endoscopic surgery of the anterior skull base. Visual location of the vessel along the skull base can be difficult, particularly in the setting of neoplasia, inflammation, and bleeding. Injury can be problematic and may result in intraorbital bleeding and hematoma, threatening the eye, or even intracranial bleeding. Our study reviewed the course of the AEA as it traverses the fovea ethmoidalis, with the aim of devising a method of locating the vessel during endoscopic surgery.
