Pharyngo‐Tympano‐Stapedial Variant of the Middle Meningeal Artery

The middle meningeal artery plays a vital role in supplying the cranial dura mater and is frequently targeted in some therapies. We describe another case of the pharyngo‐tympano‐stapedial variant of the middle meningeal artery found incidentally in a patient undergoing a cerebral angiogram. This ana...

Description
Summary:The middle meningeal artery plays a vital role in supplying the cranial dura mater and is frequently targeted in some therapies. We describe another case of the pharyngo‐tympano‐stapedial variant of the middle meningeal artery found incidentally in a patient undergoing a cerebral angiogram. This anatomical variation finds the middle meningeal artery branching from the proximal segment of the cervical internal carotid artery. Understanding these anatomical variations is crucial to avoiding neurological complications during procedures.
