[Anatomical study of different modes of anastomosis between the facial artery and ophthalmological artery at the medial angle of the orbit (author's transl)].
In 21 autopsy specimens, we performed latex injection, and studied the rate and the diameter of the anastomosis between the ophthalmic artery and the facial artery: we find 26 cases in 42 face-sides, 60 %; which can supply rapidly a circulatory insufficiency. The anastomosis which go to the ophthalmic artery from the others branches of the external carotid are less frequent.
