ARTERIA VIDIANA Meaning and Definition

1. Arteria vidiana refers to a small blood vessel located within the skull. Derived from Latin, where "arteria" means artery and "vidiana" refers to the anatomist Bartolomeo Vidiani, this term specifically indicates a short artery that connects the internal carotid artery with the ascending pharyngeal artery. It is also known as the vidian artery or vidian canal artery.

   The vidian artery is situated within a canal called the vidian canal, which is found in the sphenoid bone of the skull. This canal acts as a conduit, providing a passage for the artery to connect between the two aforementioned major arteries. The vidian artery then divides into two branches: the medial vidian artery and the lateral vidian artery.

   Functionally, the arteria vidiana plays a significant role in blood supply to various structures within the head and face. Its branches supply blood to the nasal cavity, pharynx, and the surrounding areas, such as the mucosa of the nasal septum, lateral nasal wall, and paranasal sinuses.

   Understanding the arteria vidiana's anatomy and function is crucial for medical professionals, particularly in the fields of otorhinolaryngology, neurosurgery, and radiology. It is relevant when dealing with various conditions such as nasal bleeding, tumors in the nasopharyngeal region, and potential surgical approaches for relevant procedures.

   Overall, the arteria vidiana is a small artery within the skull, connecting major blood vessels, and supplying blood to critical structures in the head and face.

Etymology of ARTERIA VIDIANA

The term "arteria vidiana" is a Latin phrase used in anatomical terminology.

The word "arteria" comes from the Latin word "arteria", which means "an artery". This word can be traced back to the Greek word "artēria", meaning "windpipe" or "arterial vessel", derived from the Greek words "airein", meaning "to lift" or "to take away".

The word "vidiana" is derived from the surname of the Italian anatomist, Bartolomeo Eustachio (1524-1574). Eustachio described this artery in detail in his work "Tabulae Anatomicae" (Anatomical Tables), published posthumously. He named the artery "arteria vidiana" after himself.
