“…Continuous intra-arterial chemotherapy has been performed using a vascular catheter inserted into the external carotid artery via the superficial temporal artery. Recently, superselective continuous intra-arterial chemotherapy via a catheter inserted into the region peripheral to the target artery has been performed, and has demonstrated sufficient anticancer effects, especially in combination with radiotherapy 1,2,8,9 . This therapy has played an important role comparable to that of surgical treatment for head and neck cancer.…”

“…Awareness of variant anatomy can also be of use during radical neck dissection, and minimizing postoperative complications in a bloodless surgery [4]. Moreover SLA being the principal artery of the larynx, is used for administering chemotherapeutic drugs for treatment of laryngeal cancers, as the drugs administered through the feeding artery directly to the tumour site can achieve a greater therapeutic effect [21]. A good and detailed knowledge of SLA will also ensure a correct decision and a safe approach prior to neuro-radiological procedures involving SLA [6].…”

Variations in the origin of superior laryngeal artery

The superior laryngeal artery is the principal artery supplying the laryngeal mucosa, musculature, and glands. Knowledge of variations in the origin of superior laryngeal artery could prove to be very useful during reconstructive surgeries of the larynx, partial laryngectomy, laryngeal transplantation, and also during procedures like super-selective intra-arterial chemotherapy for laryngeal and hypolaryngeal cancers. However, relatively few studies have been done on the superior laryngeal artery in comparison to its clinical importance. The present study was aimed at documenting the prevalence of variable origin of the superior laryngeal artery within the carotid triangle. Sixty hemi-necks obtained from 30 South Indian cadavers were dissected and studied for variations in the origin of superior laryngeal artery. It was observed that the superior laryngeal artery took origin from superior thyroid in 91.7% cases. Variable origin from the external carotid artery was noted in 5% cases. The superior laryngeal artery was found to arise from the lingual artery in one case alone (1.7%). In addition to the above findings, a very rare variation of superior laryngeal artery arising from the ascending pharyngeal (1.7%) was also observed in the hemi-neck of one cadaver. All the variations that were observed were unilateral and on the left side. These findings may help provide further insight to the anatomists, radiologists and surgeons and can help improve performances during surgical manipulations of the larynx.

“…This method is relatively popular in Japan and the STA is usually used as the punctured artery. Shimizu et al [21] reported this approach for treatment of 49 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, including 23 patients with maxillary sinus carcinomas. They inserted the catheter into the internal maxillary artery, the facial artery, the lingual artery, the posterior auricular artery and the ascending palatine artery and catheterization failed in only 1 patient because of an abnormal kinking of the external carotid artery.…”

Conclusion: Both reservoir systems for intra-arterial cisplatin and intravenous sodium thiosulfate infusions are low- invasive, safe and effective procedures for treatment of advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma. Objectives: To use our reservoir system for intra-arterial high-dose cisplatin infusion therapy in patients with advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Eight patients with advanced maxillary sinus carcinomas underwent treatment utilizing intra-arterial cisplatin (CDDP) infusion and radiation therapy followed by planned surgical resection. For intra-arterial infusion of high-dose cisplatin, both intra-arterial and intravenous reservoir systems were used. Results: CDDP was infused 4–6 times (mean 5.1) and the total dose of CDDP was between 690 and 910 mg (mean 771 mg). The response rate was 100 with 50% CR and 50% PR and all patients underwent medial maxillectomy. Only 1 T₄ patient had local recurrence and 1 other patient had bilateral neck metastasis.
