Pseudoaneurysms of the lingual artery are an extremely rare entity and often are consequence of neck surgery, trauma or inflammation ( due to chemoradiotherapy or odontogenic infection), and may cause life-threatening bleeding. To our knowledge, this is the first report of buccal bleeding secondary to the presence of a previously undiagnosed oropharyngeal carcinoma with an associated lingual artery pseudoaneurysm.

Department of Physiology and Anatomy, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, USA.
The facial and transverse facial arteries supply blood to the superficial structures of the face. Understanding these arterial variations is essential for optimizing surgical planning and outcomes, especially in invasive facial procedures. A 78-year-old male cadaveric dissection documented variations in facial and transverse facial arteries.

Thinning of anterolateral thigh flap is challenging. Anatomical studies have shown variations in arterial branching patterns in the subcutaneous layer, which were suspected to be the reason for the high frequency of thinning failures. We attempted to visualize subcutaneous arterial courses preoperatively and perform thinning of perforator flaps using this information appropriately.

Article Synopsis
- The extraction of a submandibular-displaced mandibular third molar root is challenging for surgeons due to its closeness to important structures like the lingual nerve and sublingual artery.
- Preoperative imaging helps locate the root, but real-time synchronization is tough because of the mandible's moving nature.
- This study highlights the successful extraction of a residual root using a magnetic navigation system, resulting in a minimally invasive procedure with no complications or major issues reported postoperatively.
Floor of the Mouth Hemorrhage Following Dental Implant Placement or Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) in the Atrophic Interforaminal Mandible.

Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Azienda Ospedaliera Papa Giovanni XXIII, Bergamo, Bergamo, Italy.
The authors present two cases of mouth floor hemorrhage consequences of implant placement within the atrophic anterior mandible. In one patient, the implant placement was associated with the guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique. This serious complication has been widely described in the literature, especially in the anterior mandible area.

Objective: Prophylactic ligation of the external carotid artery (ECA) during oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) resection is known to reduce severe postoperative oropharyngeal bleeding events, however, there is limited research on whether bleed rates vary between selective ligation of individual vessels or total ligation of the ECA. This study assesses outcomes related to total versus selective ligation of the ECA in patients who underwent transoral resection for OPSCC of the base of tongue or palatine tonsils.
Study Design: Retrospective review.
