Abstract

The maxillary artery is the larger one of the two terminal branches of the ECA, which runs a long distance from the mandibular neck to the apex of the pterygopalatine fossa and gives off multiple branches distributing blood to various organs including temporal and mandibular bones, adjacent musculocutaneous tissue, the parotid gland, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, orbita, cranial nerves, and dura matter. It is involved by various diseases of those organs, and therefore it can be a target artery frequently for endovascular treatment of the head and neck lesions as well as intracranial lesions.
