True Aneurysm of the Proximal Occipital Artery: Case Report [PDF]
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2018 ABSTRACT Introduction: True aneurysms of the proximal occipital artery are rare, may cause neurological symptoms due to compression of the hypoglossal nerve and their resection may be technically demanding. Presentation of case:

Aberrant courses of the occipital artery. [PDF]
Surg Radiol AnatAbstract Purpose The occipital artery (OA), typically arising from the external carotid artery (ECA), usually courses deep to the posterior belly of the digastric muscle as it ascends toward the skull base. While variations in the height of origin from the ECA are known, aberrant courses of the

Occipital artery: Anatomical variations and neurosurgical applications. [PDF]
Surg Neurol Int, 2023 Background: The occipital artery (OA) is a branch of the external carotid artery. It gives rise to several cutaneous, muscular, and meningeal branches to supply different anatomical areas. The implication of OA in the neurosurgical field is well-established in the literature.

A case of occipital artery originating from the vertebral artery. [PDF]
Anat Cell BiolAnomalies of the vertebral artery (VA) and its branches are rare but critical in neurovascular procedures. In a 38-year-old female, digital subtraction angiography revealed an anomalous origin of the occipital artery (OA) from the V3 segment of the left VA, with a tortuous course supplying the neck and scalp.

Morphometric Evaluation of Occipital Artery
Balıkesır Health Sciences Journal, 2023 Objective: Occipital artery anatomy should be well known in order to minimize complications that may occur in the occipital artery, which is closely adjacent to this nerve, during greater occipital nerve blockade. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the morphometric relationship of the occipital artery with neighboring anatomical structures in order

Topographical study of the trapezius muscle, greater occipital nerve, and occipital artery for facilitating blockade of the greater occipital nerve. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The aim of this study was to clarify the topographical relationships between the greater occipital nerve and the trapezius muscle and between the greater occipital nerve and the occipital artery in the occiput in order to increase the success rate of ...

A giant pseudoaneurysm of the occipital artery. [PDF]
Surg Neurol Int, 2017 Pseudoaneurysms of the occipital artery (OA) are extremely rare and can occur following head trauma or iatrogenic injury; OA anatomy seems to play a crucial role in their pathogenesis.This report describes the case of a 76-year-old patient with a giant OA pseudoaneurysm secondary to a head injury the patient had sustained 1 month earlier.

Distance from the external occipital protuberance to the occipital artery for occipital nerve block [PDF]
Journal of Anesthesia, 2013 To the Editor: Greater occipital nerve block is indicated for cervicogenic or cluster headache. Identifying the location of the nerve is important for differential diagnosis of cervicogenic headache, because it is necessary to block this nerve and not neighboring structures [1].
