Lingual artery: Angiographic anatomy and variations review for neurosurgeons.
Background: The lingual artery (LA) is an important branch of the external carotid artery with a distinct course and vascular supply. However, the knowledge of the LA's angiographic anatomy and variation may represent an obscure area for practicing neurosurgeons. Inconsistencies in the origin, shape, three-dimensional orientation, exact course, and branches are key features of the LA, necessitating a better understanding of its detailed angio-anatomical characteristics.
Methods: Summarized key concepts were included based on a review of the literature, including PubMed medical database, focusing on LA anatomy, angiography, and variations.
Results: A focused, high-yield review was provided in this paper, depicting multiple anatomical and angiographic characteristics of the LA based on 20 final identified articles.
Conclusion: Appreciating the LA's anatomy is essential for angiographic interpretation and enhances the precision of related neurovascular procedures.
