Middle superior alveolar artery

The middle superior alveolar artery is inconstant^[1]^[2] artery supplying the upper jaw. It is one of the three superior alveolar arteries.^[2] When present, it arises from the infraorbital artery^[1]^[2] and descends upon the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, forming anastomotic arcades with the other two superior alveolar arteries of the same side before ending near the canine tooth.^[2] It contributes to the arterial supply to the upper/maxillary incisor and canine teeth.^[2]
