Abstract

Objective: To evaluate anatomical characteristics of the supratrochlear artery, supraorbital artery in Vietnamese adult. Subjects and method: Cross-sectional description by dissection of 31 first half specimens of 16 corpses. Results and conclusions: 90.32% of specimens have artery on pulley, 100% of specimen have artery on orbit. The mean diameter of the supraorbital artery was 1.02 ± 0.25 mm. The mean diameter of the artery on the pulley was 0.96 ± 0.20 mm. The distance from the supraorbital artery to the midline at the superior border of the brow is 24.99 ± 5.41 mm. The mean distance from the suprapulley artery to the midline at the superior border of the arch was 19.16 ± 7.49 mm. The mean distance from the supraorbital artery to the medial corner of the eye at the superior border of the brow was 13.54 ± 5.13mm. The average distance from the suprapulley artery to the medial eye angle at the superior border of the brow was 4.75 ± 3.75. The average length of the supraorbital artery entering the frontal muscle was 14.88 ± 9.16 mm. The mean length of the artery on the pulley entering the frontal muscle was 9.63 ± 5.18 mm. The length of the supraorbital artery that enters the subcutaneous tissue is 58.57 ± 14.63 mm. The length of the artery on the pulley entering the subcutaneous tissue is 31.39 ± 13.92 mm.
