1
The carotid arteries are major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain,
2
neck and face.
3
We have two carotid arteries,
4
one on the right side of the body and the other on the left.
5
The right common carotid artery arises from a split or bifurcation of the brachiocephalic trunk.
6
The right subclavian is the other branch,
7
which is a branch of the aortic arch.
8
This bifurcation occurs roughly at the level of the right sternoclavicular joint,
9
level of T2 vertebrae.
10
The left common carotid artery branches directly from the arch of the aorta.
11
Both the left and right common carotid arteries travel up the neck.
12
At roughly the level of the thyroid cartilage and cervical vertebrae 4,
13
the carotid artery splits into the external and internal branches.
14
This bifurcation happens in an anatomical area called the carotid triangle.
15
Just above the bifurcation of the common carotid artery,
16
there is an area called the carotid sinus.
17
In this area, the common carotid and internal carotid are slightly dilated.
18
This is an important area as it contains baroreceptors which are sensors that help the body to detect and regulate blood pressure.
19
At the bifurcation of the common carotid artery there is also the carotid body,
20
a chemoreceptor important in maintaining oxygen levels in the blood.
21
First off, let's take a look at the external carotid artery,
22
which supplies blood to the areas of the head and neck external to the cranium.
23
After arising from the common carotid artery,
24
it travels up the neck,
25
passes behind the mandibular neck and in front of the lobule of the ear.
26
The external carotid artery has a number of branches.
27
In ascending order these are superior thyroid artery,
28
ascending pharyngeal artery, lingual artery,
29
facial artery, occipital artery, posterior auricular artery,
30
maxillary artery, superficial temporal artery.
31
The internal carotid arteries, as their name suggests,
32
take a different path, carrying blood internally into the cranial cavity.
33
They do this via the carotid canal in the petrous part of the temporal bone.
34
Unlike the external carotid artery,
35
the internal carotid artery do not supply any structures in the neck.
36
Instead they supply the brain by joining and forming the circle of willis,
37
the eyes through the ophthalmic artery and the forehead.
38
Now that we've given an overview of the anatomy of the carotid arteries,
39
let's take a look at how these structures are clinically relevant.
40
Clinical anatomy, carotid pulse.
41
The carotid arteries are a commonly used site for assessment of a patient's pulse.
42
As the heart pushes blood through the arteries,
43
the arteries expand and contract with the flow of blood.
44
Palpation of the carotid arteries in the neck can be used to assess the pulse rate,
45
the heart rhythm or character and the strength of the pulse.
46
The carotid arterial pulses are best examined with the patient supine
47
and the trunk of the patient body slightly elevated
48
and is measured by placing the fingers behind the larynx and the anterior border of the sternocleid mastoid muscle.
49
It is very important to not palpate both carotid arteries at the same time as this reduces blood flow to the brain.
50
Clinical anatomy, carotid artery hypersensitivity.
51
We previously talked about the carotid baroreceptors which are sensors and regulators of blood pressure.
52
Baroreceptors are stretch and pressure receptors.
53
So you can imagine if external pressure was placed on the carotid sinus,
54
the baroreceptors within the carotid sinus would think there is an increase in blood pressure.
55
They would then communicate this with your brain to reduce your heart rate in order to reduce and restore blood pressure levels.
56
Normally, this is only a small amount.
57
However, in some people, the carotid sinus overreacts to the external pressure,
58
making their heart slow down or their blood pressure drop a significant amount.
59
And this is called carotid sinus hypersensitivity.
60
This overreaction can be triggered by wearing tight clothing around the neck or even turning the head.
61
The response is manifested clinically as syncope or presyncope and can lead to falls and injury.
62
Carotid sinus hypersensitivity is only treated if people are symptomatic.
63
If the condition causes the patient's heart rate or heart rate and blood pressure to fall substantially,
64
they are offered a pacemaker.
65
Clinical anatomy, carotid plaque, atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke.
66
The next condition we are going to talk about is atherosclerosis.
67
Now, atherosclerosis is deposition of plaques or fatty material on the inner wall of the arteries.
68
When this occurs, blood flow is reduced.
69
Atherosclerosis usually occurs at bifurcations,
70
branching regions and regions where there is high curvature of vessels.
71
The example in the bifurcation of the common carotid artery into the internal and external carotid arteries.
72
The internal carotid artery is the most susceptible to atherosclerosis and can result in reduced blood flow to the brain.
73
This can result in presyncope or even syncope.
74
Concerningly, if a piece of the plaque ruptures,
75
breaks off and migrates up,
76
it can occlude the cerebral arteries causing an ischemic stroke.
77
To assess the severity of the vessel wall thickening in the corded arteries,
78
a Doppler study can be used to enable estimation of the blood flow through the vessel.
79
If the condition is severe,
80
if the plaque is severe enough,
81
the artery can be surgically cut open and the athromatous tunica intima,
82
that plaque, can be removed to restore the blood flow.
83
This procedure is referred to as a carotid endarterectomy.
84
If this is not possible,
85
there is also carotid angioplasty and stenting, which can be done.
86
Clinical Anatomy, Carotid Artery Aneurysm Atherosclerosis is a risk factor for a condition called a carotid artery aneurysm,
87
which is a balloon-like bulge or dilation of the carotid artery.
88
As the artery expands, the wall becomes progressively thinner,
89
increasing the chance that the aneurysm will burst.
90
Any segment of the carotid artery can be affected,
91
however the internal carotid artery is the most commonly involved.
92
Carotid artery aneurysms can be associated with certain diseases including Marfan syndrome,
93
fibromuscular dysplasia and giant cell arthritis.
94
Diagnosis of a carotid artery aneurysm may be made incidentally in patients who are asymptomatic or suspected due to clinical manifestations.
95
These clinical manifestations include presence of a pulsatile mass in the neck.
96
It can be from a mass effect,
97
so the aneurysm may push against nearby nerves.
98
For example, in the cavernous sinus it can push against nerves here causing ophthalmoplegia.
99
It can also push against the vagus nerve causing hoarse voice.
100
It can also push against the internal jugular vein,
101
not a nerve, and when it pushes against the internal jugular vein,
102
it causes compression and facial swelling from backflow.
103
Finally, another clinical manifestation is that the aneurysm can rupture and bleed.
104
diagnostic tests include a carotid angiography which will reveal the aneurysm here is an example
105
clinical anatomy carotid artery dissections a young person's stroke This next condition we will be discussing is a carotid artery dissection.
106
This is a serious condition involving injury to the innermost wall of the carotid artery.
107
This tear creates two channels of blood flow.
108
The first is the normal lumen of the carotid artery and the other is in the wall where blood remains stationary.
109
The blood that remains in the wall results in narrowing
110
or stenosis or complete occlusion of the artery resulting in reduction or elimination of the blood flow.
111
In the dissection, bloods can clot and form and they can also break off from the site of the dissection.
112
They can form an emboli.
113
These can travel through the arteries of the brain and block blood supply in the brain,
114
causing an ischemic stroke.
115
Carotid artery dissection is a common cause of stroke in young patients.
116
Classic presentation of a carotid artery dissection include local pain to that area,
117
an ipsilateral headache to one side or to the neck,
118
an ipsilateral Horner syndrome, ischemic stroke, and retinal ischemia.
119
The current gold standard first-line investigation is digital subtraction angiography,
120
and this is a fluoroscopic technique which enables visualization of the blood vessels.
121
The last clinical anatomy we're going to talk about is amaurosis fugax and I'm probably pronouncing that last part wrong.
122
Amaurosis fugax from the Greek amaurosis meaning dark
123
and Latin fugax meaning fleeting is a temporary loss of vision in one or both eyes caused by a blocked blood vessel.
124
The most common cause of the blocked blood vessel is a cholesterol plaque
125
or blood clot and most cases are due to stenosis of the ipsilateral carotid artery,
126
the carotid artery on the same side of the eye symptoms.
127
The symptoms of amaurosis fugax are partial or complete loss of vision in one or both eyes that is sudden,
128
painless and temporary.
129
The vision loss is often referred to as curtain visual loss
130
as it appears like a vertical curtain coming down over the eye before resolving over several minutes.
131
Even though this vision loss is temporary,
132
patients experiencing amaurosis fujax are at risk of strokes.
133
So in summary, in this video we talked about the carotid arteries,
134
which are major blood vessels that supply blood to the brain, neck and face.
135
We discussed that there are two crotid arteries,
136
one on each side of the body,
137
and the fact that in the neck,
138
each common crotid artery branches into two divisions.
139
The external crotid artery that supplies blood to the head and neck,
140
external to the cranium, and then the internal crotid artery that supplies blood to the brain,
141
eyes, and forehead.
142
We also discussed why the carotid arteries are clinically important and relevant,
143
such as in the conditions of carotid artery hypersensitivity,
144
carotid plaques, carotid artery aneurysm,
145
carotid artery dissections, and amorosis fugax.
