Abstract
This study shows that the lateral or superficial course of the maxillary artery relative to the lower head of the lateral pterygoid muscle is more prevalent than the medial or deep course. This is in agreement with the majority of previously published results. There were no variations in the course of the artery between the 2 sides of the same cadaver or between cadavers of both genders.
