摘要

This study documents an unusual anatomical variation in the auricular arterial supply observed during cadaver dissection. An atypical branch from the external carotid artery coursed over the parotid gland, supplying the auricle and surrounding areas. The findings are significant for reconstructive surgeries, botulinum toxin treatments, and parotid gland pathology diagnosis.
