Abstract：
The facial artery is a branch of the external carotid artery, one of the major arteries supplying blood to the head and neck. The normal route of the facial artery follows a well-defined path. It typically arises from the external carotid artery, above the superior border of the hyoid bone. During its route, the facial artery gives off branches in the neck, mandible, buccal region, and face. This case report explores a rare anatomical variation of the facial artery characterized by an unusual termination point above the upper lip as the superior labial artery, found during a routine cadaveric dissection. While variations in the course of the facial artery are documented, this particular deviation, with its termination anterior to the typical endpoint, presents a unique anatomical variation.
摘要：
面动脉是颈外动脉的分支,为头部和颈部供血的主要动脉之一。面部动脉的正常路径遵循明确定义的路径。它通常来自颈外动脉，在舌骨的上边界上方。在它的路线上,面部动脉在颈部放出分支,下颌骨,颊区,和脸。该病例报告探讨了一种罕见的面动脉解剖变异，其特征是上唇上方有一个不寻常的终点，即上唇动脉。在例行尸体解剖中发现的.虽然面部动脉的变化被记录下来，这种特殊的偏差，它的末端在典型终点之前，呈现独特的解剖变异。
