Anatomy of the superficial temporal artery
Head & Neck Surgery
|July 1, 1980
Abstract:
The anatomy of the superficial temporal artery was investigated in radiographic and cadaveric studies. The superficial temporal artery divides into an anterior and posterior branch, and the diameters of these vessels are similar. The anatomy of these two vessels is described, and implications for their use in reconstructive flaps are suggested.
