The artery of the pterygoid canal is an artery in the pterygoid canal, in the head.
It usually arises from the external carotid artery, but can arise from either the internal or external carotid artery or serve as an anastomosis between the two.
The eponym, Vidian artery, is derived from the Italian surgeon and anatomist Vidus Vidius.
