Summary

Four cases of partial or complete ocelusion of the external carotid artery, due to various etiology, are reported and the resulting collateral circulation demonstrated. This consists principally, of connections through the lateral main stem artery of Schnürer and Stattin (inferior cavernous sinus artery of Parkinson) which originates from the horizontal segment of the carotid siphon, to the maxillary artery.

Résumé

Les auteurs rapportent 4 cas d'occlusion partielle ou complète de l'artère carotide externe, d'étiologie variable et démontrent les circulations collatérales qui en résultèrent. Celles-ci consistent essentiellement en anastomoses à travers l'artère de Schürer et Stattin (artère inférieure du sinus caverneux de Parkinson) naissant du segment horizontal du siphon carotidien et se jettant dans l'artère maxillaire.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird über 4 Fälle berichtet, bei denen ein Verschluß oder ein Teilverschluß der A. carotis externa verschiedener Ursache vorliegt. Die hierbei beobachteten Kollateralen werden beschrieben. Sie liegen im Cavernosusabschnitt der A. carotis interna und dessen Umgebung und verbinden Meningealäste der A. carotis interna mit Ästen der A. maxillaris.
