Abstract
Arterial variations are uncommon. In the present case, the arterial variation observed was an additional
branch of the facial artery arising from the main trunkwhile it crosses the base of themandible. It ascended on
the masseter and terminated into three branches. Knowledge of vascular variations will enhance the surgical
precision, avoid misdiagnosis and prevent iatrogenic complications during surgical procedures of the face.
