Abstract

Background: The External Carotid Artery primarily supplies blood to the scalp, neck, and facial regions of the body. A comprehensive understanding of the vasculature and nerves in these areas is invaluable for various therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, including surgical resections for head, neck, facial, and oral cancers, radical neck dissections, as well as plastic and reconstructive surgeries in this critical region. Cerebrovascular strokes resulting from conditions such as atherosclerosis, hemorrhage, or embolism necessitate radiological investigations like carotid angiograms, while surgical interventions such as carotid endarterectomy also demand a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the external carotid artery and its branches.
