The Ophthalmic Artery: I. Origin and Intra-Cranial and Intra-Canalicular Course

EXTENSIVE accounts of the blood vessels of the orbit are to be found in various text-books of ophthalmology and anatomy, but there are few systematic descriptions of the anomalies. The various authors differ very little from one another in their descriptions, and deal almost exclusively with the so- called normal pattern of the ophthalmic artery. It was therefore considered desirable to study the origin, course, branches, and anastomoses of the ophthalmic artery in detail.
