DEMONSTRATION OF THE NASAL SEPTAL BRANCHES OF THE SPHENOPALATINE ARTERY BY USE OF A NEW INTRAVASCULAR INJECTION METHOD

We injected a new injection material into the external carotid artery using anew method, which led to the successful demonstration of the na sal septal branches of the sphenopalatine artery in human cadavers. Th e result shows the trunk of the artery divided into three main branche s, the upper two of which run toward Little's area. We believe that th e knowledge of septal branches, shown in a photograph, is very useful, not only for nasal treatment, but also for anatomic demonstration to students.
