The middle superior alveolar artery is an inconstant^[2]^[3] artery supplying the upper jaw. It is one of the three superior alveolar arteries.^[3] When present, it arises from the infraorbital artery^[2]^[3] 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.^[3] It contributes to the arterial supply to the upper/maxillary incisor and canine teeth.^[3]
