Abstract
Arteriography was used to study the arterial distribution of the hard and soft palate in dogs with and without cleft palate. Selective catheterization of the maxillary arteries produced arteriograms of the palatine arteries. Surgical exposure of the left common carotid artery or the right femoral artery was used for entry into the arterial system. The control dogs demonstrated a normal number of foramina (one on each side) with cross communication of the terminal arteries. The presence of additional foramina on the left side of the cleft as compared with the right side indicates the possibility of greater vascularity unilaterally. These findings may be of clinical significance.
