Though small, the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) is surgically significant due to its proximity to the internal carotid artery (ICA) and supply to critical neurovascular structures. We present a unique arterial variant identified by computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a 52-year-old male. On the left side, the APA originated in common with a short linguofacial trunk (LFT) that further gave rise to the lingual and facial arteries (LA and FA), forming a trifurcated LA-FA-APA trunk. On the right side, an independent LFT was present, with the APA originating separately from the external carotid artery (ECA). CTA with three-dimensional reconstruction is essential for detecting rare vascular configurations and should be part of the preoperative evaluation for head and neck surgeries and endovascular procedures.
期刊介绍：
Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit.
Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest.
Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems.
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
