The Premasseteric Branch of the Facial Artery: A Review and Translation of Adachi’s Work

The premasseteric branch of the facial artery is a variable posterior branch that is closely associated with the anterior border of the masseter muscle. Since its first description, the premasseteric branch has been described using different terms such as the masseteric or posterior branch of the fa...

description The premasseteric branch of the facial artery is a variable posterior branch that is closely associated with the anterior border of the masseter muscle. Since its first description, the premasseteric branch has been described using different terms such as the masseteric or posterior branch of the facial artery. While the artery’s anatomy is known, it is infrequently discussed in the literature. This manuscript reviews the artery’s origin, course, and importance during maxillofacial procedures, especially those involving manipulation of the masseter. We also provide a translation of Adachi’s 1928 German text describing the branch.
