Abstract

Amaç: Arteria ophthalmica ve dalları en karmaşık anatomiye ve embriyolojiye sahip arterlerden biridir. Bu arterin dallarıyla ilgili birçok çalışma yapılmış olsa da, ilk dalı hakkında farklı kaynaklarda farklı sonuçlar bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada arteria ophthalmica’nın ilk dalının araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Anatomi Anabilim Dalı’nda bulunan kadavralara ait olan 41 orbita incelendi. Bulgular: Yirmi üç orbitada (%56) a. centralis retinae’nin, 14 orbitada (%34) aa. ciliares posteriores’in, üç orbitada (%7) a. lacrimalis’in ve bir orbitada (%3) a. supraorbitalis’in ilk dal olduğu gözlendi. Sonuç: Arteria ophthalmica’nın ilk dalının yüksek oranda a. centralis retinae ya da aa. ciliares posteriores olduğu görüldü. Her iki arter de görme için temeldir ve bu bölgeyi ilgilendiren cerrahilerde bu arterlerin korunması oldukça önemlidir.

FIRST BRANCH OF OPHTHALMIC ARTERY AND ITS CLINICAL IMPORTANCE

Abstract

Objective: The ophthalmic artery and its branches have one of the most complex anatomy and embryology of all arteries. Although many studies have been done on its branches, different references have given different conclusions about the first branch of it. Therefore, it was aimed to investigate the first branch of the ophthalmic artery in this study. Materials and Method: Forty-one orbits of the cadavers, which belonged to the Department of Anatomy of Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, were examined. Results: It was observed that the first branch was the central retinal artery in 23 orbits (56%), the posterior ciliary arteries in 14 orbits (34%), the lacrimal artery in three orbits (7%) and the supraorbital artery in one orbit (3%). Conclusion: It was observed that the first branch of the ophthalmic artery was the central retinal artery or posterior ciliary arteries substantially. Both arteries are essential for vision and are very important to be protected in surgeries involving this area.
