Main Article Content

Abstract

Introduction: Vascular complications of the facial artery tributaries are frequently seen in the angular, dorsum of the nose, tip of the nose, and glabellar region. The present study documents anatomical information about the facial artery. Materials and Methods: A prospective descriptive study of 30 half-face dissection samples from 15 adult Vietnamese corpses. Result: The commonest in our series, The facial artery terminated as an angular facial vessel in 14/30 cases (47%) (Type 1). The other one, It terminated as a superior labial vessel in 8/30 cases (27%) (Type 2), as a lateral nasal vessel in 7/30 (23%) (Type 3) and as a underdeveloped vessel in 1/30 cases (3%) (Type 4). Discussion: The facial artery and its vessel are extremely variable as regards its mode of termination. There is a special type (a underdeveloped vessel) in our study.  Conclusion: Careful vascular workup prior to facial transplantation and unipedicled flap procedures is therefore essential
