| Abstract |
Some branches of the internal maxillary artery have anastomoses with the inferolateral trunk that are important as intracranial-extracranial collateral pathways and as dangerous anastomoses for transarterial embolization of these branches. We present here an undescribed branch potentially anastomosing with the anteromedial branch of the inferolateral trunk, which is provisionally named the artery of the superior orbital fissure, defined as an arterial branch from the pterygopalatine segment of the maxillary artery to the orbital apex at the superior orbital fissure. Two neuroradiologists reviewed 3D and MPR images of the external and/or common carotid artery with particular interest paid to the artery of the superior orbital fissure in 54 patients who underwent 3D angiography with a field of view covering the pterygopalatine fossa and the cavernous sinus. The underlying diseases in these patients were 17 parasellar hypervascular lesions (including 13 cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas and 4 meningiomas), 18 internal carotid artery stenoses/occlusions, and 19 other diseases. The artery of the superior orbital fissure was identified in 20 of 54 patients; it arose at the pterygopalatine segment of the maxillary artery, either singly or from a common trunk with the artery of the foramen rotundum, and ran upward to reach the superior orbital fissure. It anastomosed with the anteromedial branch of the inferolateral trunk at the superior orbital fissure with blood flow toward the cavernous sinus (n = 14) and/or the ophthalmic artery (n = 2). It was more prominent in parasellar hypervascular lesions and internal carotid artery stenoses/occlusions than in other diseases. The artery of the superior orbital fissure, a remnant of the anastomotic artery, was often identified, especially in patients with parasellar hypervascular lesions. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 September 2019.
All research outputs
#15,096,511
of 24,407,785 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Neuroradiology
#3,250
of 5,105 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#135,349
of 268,188 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Neuroradiology
#52
of 117 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,407,785 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,105 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,188 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 117 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
