A study conducted at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran, examined the position of the facial artery in relation to soft tissue landmarks on cadavers. The research found that the distance between the facial artery and specific points on the mandible did not correlate with mandibular length, but did correlate with the distance between the facial artery, Pog, and Go. The study provides valuable insights into the anatomical positioning of the facial artery in relation to facial landmarks. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Saveetha University in Tamil Nadu, India, have conducted a study on arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), rare vascular abnormalities that can result from defects in blood vessels. The study focused on a case of a high-flow AVM in an adult patient with swelling in the left mandibular region, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and comprehensive diagnostic approaches involving detailed patient history, clinical examination, and advanced imaging techniques. The research highlighted the significance of using a multidisciplinary strategy for managing these uncommon vascular anomalies to prevent serious complications. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, explores the use of facial artery perforator (FAP) flaps for reconstructing facial defects. The researchers discuss surgical techniques based on their previous experience with FAP flaps and present a retrospective review of 12 patients who underwent facial defect reconstruction using this method. The study concludes that utilizing FAP flaps can lead to successful reconstructions with good functional and aesthetic outcomes. The research was supported by the Medical Guidance Project of the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, explored the use of contralateral-based facial artery myomucosal island flap (C-FAMMIF) for reconstructing oral oncologic defects. The study involved anatomical analysis on cadaver samples and retrospective research on 24 patients who underwent C-FAMMIF reconstruction after malignancy resection. The results showed that C-FAMMIF is a feasible and safe option for reconstructing T2-T3 oral oncologic defects in patients with ipsilateral cN+ neck. The study also found promising outcomes in terms of functional recovery and donor site healing. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from the Medical University of Graz in Austria have conducted a study on the course and relation of the facial artery. The study aimed to assess the spatial relationship of the facial vessels and measure the distance at the lower margin of the mandible. The results showed that the facial artery was located anterior to the facial vein in all cases, with a mean distance of 6.2 mm. The study also found that the main trunk of the facial artery and vein had an independent course, while their branches, particularly the labial vessels, had a closer relationship. This research provides valuable anatomical insights into the facial vascular anatomy, which is important for both physiological understanding and surgical interventions. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from Habib Bourguiba Hospital in Sfax, Tunisia discusses the case of a 50-year-old man who developed a traumatic pseudoaneurysm in the proximal part of the facial artery following a car crash. The patient presented with a progressively growing submandibular mass, and imaging confirmed the presence of a nodular lesion connected to the facial artery. The patient underwent surgery to remove the pseudoaneurysm, with ligation of the proximal and distal ends of the facial artery. This case is significant because pseudoaneurysms of the facial artery typically arise from the distal part of the vessel, and only a few cases involving the proximal part have been described in the literature.

A recent study conducted at Nasser Institute Hospital has presented a new protocol for closing cocaine fistulae, which are challenging defects caused by cocaine abuse. The study used a combination of palatal flap delay and facial artery musculomucosal flap, and found that this technique was reliable and resulted in good healing patterns without any signs of breakdown, recurrence, or residual fistulae. Patient satisfaction was also evaluated and found to be high. The researchers concluded that the combination of palatal flap delay and facial artery musculomucosal flap is a reliable method for closing cocaine fistulae. [Extracted from the article]
