Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the arterial distribution of the eyelids. Methods: The location, course, length and diameter of eyelid arteries were determined in 19 preserved and latex injected adult mate cadaver heads. Results: The diameter of the medial. palpebral. artery was found to be 1.50 +/- 0.28 mm on the right, and 0.70 +/- 0.12 mm on the left. The diameter of the lateral palpebral artery was measured as 0.62 +/- 0.10 mm on the right, and 0.59 +/- 10.12 mm on the left. The medial palpebral. arteries travelling in the medial part of the eyelids usually arose as separate branches for the upper and lower lids, as superior and inferior medial. palpebrals. In all cases, four arterial arcades, the marginal, peripheral, superficial orbital, and the deep orbital arcades, were revealed in the upper palpebra. These arterial arcades gave off small perforating branches. The perforating branches were identified on both sides of the tarsal plate and the orbicularis muscle. In four cases (11%) visible arterial variation was found near the inferotateral, end of the levator palpebrae. Although many differences in the arterial features of the eyelid have been noted, there may not be a significant difference in the basic vasculature of the palpebra among races. A better understanding of the palpebral vascularity should allow modification of reconstructive techniques and reduce postoperative complications after eyelid surgery.
