The aim of the study was to describe the arterial supply to the head of the Western European hedgehog in detail and compare it with known vascular patterns found in mammals. In the study, 30 specimens of adult Western European hedgehogs were used. Three different angiological techniques were used to obtain the full image of arterial vascularization of the head in the described species - latex preparation, corrosion cast and contrast-enhanced cone-beam computed tomography. The last of them is a method also used in veterinary practice, which makes the description useful not only to anatomists, but also veterinary clinicians. The most important features of the study are: the species has an interesting, individually specific course of the stapedial artery, in which two different variants have been found. In one of them the vessel provides blood as far as the orbit, but in the other one ends at the temporal region; the auricular region is supplied by branches from the superficial cervical artery; there is no maxillary artery; the occipital artery originates from the internal carotid artery. The results of this work may contribute to establishing new veterinary protocols for the species that is declining in number in many countries and is treated by veterinarians in wildlife rehabilitation centers. It may be also used by clinicians who work with other species of hedgehogs kept as pets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11259-024-10568-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,19]],"date-time":"2024-11-19T05:22:12Z","timestamp":1731993732000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Western European hedgehog\u2019s (Erinaceus europaeus) head arteries"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1256-0107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub J\u0119drzej","family":"Ruszkowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1126-1084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Zdun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3643-3524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin Bart\u0142omiej","family":"Arciszewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"10568_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Amori G (2016) Erinaceus europaeus.
