Ophthalmic artery (OA) is known for anomalous origin and aberrant course probably attributable to its complex embryology. Anomalous origin of OA can be associated with intracranial aneurysm. Anomalous origins have been reported from middle meningeal artery (MMA), cavernous carotid, posterior communicating, anterior cerebral and basilar artery. Even though bilateral anomalous origin of OA from MMA is a rare finding, to the author’s best knowledge, association of above condition with bilateral internal carotid artery aneurysms has not been described in the literature. We present a case of such anomalous bilateral OA originating from MMA and associated with bilateral internal carotid artery aneurysms. We have also reviewed the pertinent literature regarding anomalous OA origin.

Deviations from normal embryologic development can manifest in different anatomical variants of the ophthalmic artery. We present a case of an infant treated for a high-flow dural arteriovenous fistula of the superior sagittal sinus, in whom an arterial circle involving the ophthalmic artery, the middle meningeal artery, the inferolateral trunk and a hypoplastic segment of the internal carotid artery was found. The embryologic development is briefly reviewed with emphasis on the possible genesis of this interesting constellation.

✓ The sources of blood supply of calvarial hemangiomas are not well established angiographically but have been reported to derive from the middle meningeal artery. A case is presented in which both the external and the internal carotid arteries supplied the hemangioma. The protean arteriographic picture is explained in terms of the various tissues the tumor involves (galea, calvarium, or meninges).

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the distance from mandibular condyle to internal carotid artery and middle meningeal artery.Methods: In this study 20 skulls obtained from the Department of Anatomy were utilized for the study. The following two parameters were measured using Vernier Caliper (digital). 1. Distance from Mandibular condyle to carotid canal 2. Distance from medial margin of Mandibular condyle to Foramen spinosum. All the measurements were taken thrice to minimize errors. Photograph of the skull base showing the measurements done was captured.Results: A total of 40 sides, 20 right and 20 left sides were studied. The mean distance between medial margin of mandibular condyle to carotid canal was 11.2 mm±0.6 on right side and 11.6mm±0.8 on left side. The mean distance from the medial margin of mandibular condyle to Foramen spinosum (middle meningeal artery) was 9.3 mm±1.1 on right side and 9.8mm±0.9 on left side. Conclusions: The distance between mandibular condyle to Middle meningeal artery is less compared to the distance between Mandibular condyle to carotid artery. The current study concludes that MMA is comparatively at high risk for damage compared to internal carotid artery.

Atypical origin of the middle meningeal artery from the cervical internal carotid artery is a rare angiographic finding. We describe a case of the pharyngo-tympano-stapedial variant of the middle meningeal artery in a young patient. In this vascular variation the proximal segment of the middle meningeal artery, corresponding to an annexed inferior tympanic artery, originates from the cervical carotid artery. Then over the promontory it unites with the superior tympanic artery and continues with its intracranial course via the petrous branch.

Saccular Aneurysms

Object Surgery for aneurysms at the anterior wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA), which are also referred to as ICA anterior wall aneurysms, is often challenging. A treatment strategy needs to be determined according to the pathology of the aneurysm—namely, whether the aneurysm is a saccular aneurysm with firm neck walls that would tolerate clipping or coiling, a dissecting aneurysm, or a blood blister–like aneurysm. However, it is not always possible to properly evaluate the condition of the aneurysm before surgery solely based on angiographic findings. Methods The authors focused on the location of the ophthalmic artery (OA) in determining the pathology of ICA anterior wall aneurysms. Between January 2006 and December 2012, diagnostic cerebral angiography, for any reason, was performed on 1643 ICAs in 855 patients at Saitama Medical Center. The authors also investigated the relationship between the origin of the OA and the incidence of ICA anterior wall aneurysms. The pathogenesis was also evaluated for each aneurysm based on findings from both angiography and open surgery to identify any correlation between the location where the OA originated and the conditions of the aneurysm walls. Results Among 1643 ICAs, 31 arteries (1.89%) were accompanied by an anomalous origin of the OA, including 26 OAs originating from the C3 portion, 3 originating from the C4 portion, and 2 originating from the anterior cerebral artery. The incidence of an anomalous origin of the OA had no relationship to age, sex, or side. Internal carotid artery anterior wall aneurysms were observed in 16 (0.97%) of 1643 ICAs. Female patients had a significantly higher risk of having ICA anterior wall aneurysms (p = 0.026). The risk of ICA anterior wall aneurysm formation was approximately 50 times higher in patients with an anomalous origin of the OA (25.8% [8 of 31]) than in those with a normal OA (0.5% [8 of 1612], p < 0.0001). Based on angiographic classifications, saccular aneurysms were significantly more common in patients with an anomalous origin of the OA than in those with a normal OA (p = 0.041). Ten of 16 patients with ICA anterior wall aneurysms underwent craniotomies. Based on the intraoperative findings, all 6 aneurysms with normal OAs were dissecting or blood blister–like aneurysms, not saccular aneurysms. Conclusions There was a close relationship between the location of the OA origin and the predisposition to ICA anterior wall aneurysms. Developmental failure of the OA and subsequent weakness of the vessel wall might account for this phenomenon, as previously reported regarding other aneurysms related to the anomalous development of parent arteries. The data also appear to indicate that ICA anterior wall aneurysms in patients with an anomalous origin of the OA tend to be saccular aneurysms with normal neck walls. These findings provide critical information in determining therapeutic strategies for ICA anterior wall aneurysms.
