Highlights

Bilateral head and neck dissection of formalin preserved middle aged Indian female cadaver was done for routine teaching and simultaneously observations regarding the branching pattern of facial artery though rare is of great academic and clinical significance in general practice
The Main Artery Supply to the face is derived from the facial and superficial temporal arteries blood is supplied by branches of the maxillary and ophthalmic arteries. facial artery arrives in the neck from the third anterior branch of external carotid artery
Instead of ending up by breaking into small branches, the angular artery may anastomose with a terminal branch of ophthalmic artery that leaves the orbit and runs downwards to supply the nose

Summary

Introduction

The Main Artery Supply to the face is derived from the facial and superficial temporal arteries blood is supplied by branches of the maxillary and ophthalmic arteries. facial artery arrives in the neck from the third anterior branch of external carotid artery. The Present Study to observe the variations in branching of facial artery. Bilateral head and neck dissection of formalin preserved middle aged Indian female cadaver was done for routine teaching and simultaneously observations regarding the branching pattern of facial artery though rare is of great academic and clinical significance in general practice.
