The middle meningeal artery is the largest of the three (paired) arteries that supply the meninges, the others being the anterior meningeal artery and the posterior meningeal artery. The anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery runs beneath the pterion. It is vulnerable to injury at this point, where the skull is thin. Rupture of the ...
The petrosal branch of middle meningeal artery enters the hiatus for greater petrosal nerve, supplies the facial nerve and anastomoses with the stylomastoid branch of the posterior auricular artery. See also
The accessory meningeal artery (also accessory branch of middle meningeal artery, pterygomeningeal artery, small meningeal or parvidural branch) is a branch of the maxillary artery that ascends through the foramen ovale to enter the cranial cavity and supply the dura mater of the floor of the middle cranial fossa and of the trigeminal cave, and to the trigeminal ganglion (representing the main ...

It divides into two branches - anterior and posterior - which accompany the main divisions of the middle meningeal artery and supply the dura mater: [1] The anterior branch communicates with the meningeal branch of the maxillary nerve. [1] The posterior branch also supplies the mucous lining of the mastoid cells. [1]
A post mortem study of middle cerebral artery strokes demonstrated that the area of brain injury was often smaller than the total area supplied by the middle cerebral artery. Leptomeningeal collateral vessels from the anterior cerebral artery and posterior cerebral artery appeared to allow for perfusion of some brain tissue to persist ...
The superior tympanic artery is a small artery in the head. It is a branch of the middle meningeal artery . On entering the cranium it runs in the canal for the tensor tympani muscle and supplies this muscle and the lining membrane of the canal.
