Course and relationships of the arteria maxillaris.
The course and relationships of the arteria maxillaris in the left and right infratemporal fossae were examined by means of dissection of 49 South African Negroid cadavers. Eighty-nine specimens of the infratemporal fossae were used. The results were classified according to six variations and were compared to existing findings on Europeans and Asians. In some categories there were significant differences between the Negroid group and the white groups with which it was compared, while in other categories there were no significant differences.
