Artery Laryngeal Cranial

The laryngeal cranial artery (a. laryngea cranialis) is a small artery that is located on the posterior wall of the larynx in the area of ​​the vocal cords. It is a branch of the common carotid artery and is responsible for the blood supply to the larynx and vocal cords.

The cranial laryngeal artery begins from the common carotid artery, passes through the posterior wall of the larynx and branches into two branches - the superior and inferior laryngeal arteries. The superior laryngeal artery supplies the vocal cords, and the inferior laryngeal artery supplies the other tissues of the larynx.

Impaired blood supply to the larynx can lead to various diseases such as aphonia (loss of voice), dysphonia (voice disturbance) and hoarseness. In addition, insufficient blood supply to the vocal cords can lead to loss of voice or even complete loss of voice.

To prevent disturbances in the blood supply to the larynx, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the common carotid and laryngeal arteries, as well as undergo regular medical examinations. If any abnormalities in the functioning of the arteries are detected, you must consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
