The precise definition of the accessory meningeal artery was not available until 1961. It can originate from the maxillary artery or middle meningeal artery and supplies the meatus and membranous portion of the auditory tube, the lateral pharyngeal muscle, and the medial pterygoid muscle; Laterally, it supplies the lateral pterygoid muscle, the extracranial part of the mandibular nerve, the pterygoid venous plexus, and the sphenoid periosteum. Here, we present a 70-year-old male patient who applied to the neurosurgery clinic with complaints of chronic headaches and dizziness. Magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomography angiography showed hypoplasic appearance of the left internal carotid artery and an enlarged accessory meningeal artery variant merging with its ophthalmic segment.
直到 1961 年，人们才对脑膜副动脉有了确切的定义。它可以发自上颌动脉或脑膜中动脉，供应耳咽管的肌性和膜性部分、咽旁肌外侧部和翼内肌；其外侧支供应翼外肌、下颌神经颅外段、翼从静脉丛和蝶骨骨膜。这里，我们报告了一位 70 岁男性患者，他因慢性头痛和头晕就诊于神经外科。磁共振血管造影和 CT 血管造影显示左侧颈内动脉发育不良，脑膜副动脉变体增粗并与眼段融合。
