Hemorragia Intracerebral Imprevisible en un Hombre Joven: La Importancia de la Tomografía computarizada craneal post-mortem

Med. leg. Costa Rica; 40 (2), 2023
La muerte súbita es aquella que ocurre dentro de las 24 horas posteriores al inicio de los síntomas y se caracteriza por ser clínicamente inexplicable, inesperada y repentina. Debido a la naturaleza de la muerte súbita, no es posible llegar a un diagnóstico preciso sin una autopsia. En esta comunica...

Anatomical Variations and Clinical Significance of the Cerebral Arterial Circle in Turkish Cadavers

Int. j. morphol; 41 (4), 2023
SUMMARY: The structure formed by the arteries, which is of great importance in the irrigation of the brain, is called the cerebral arterial circle (Polygon of Willis). Since the cerebral arterial circle provides brain nutrition, vascularabnormalities in this region are highly relevant. Therefore, the aim...

Variations of the cerebral arterial circle: morphological and clinical analysis

Int. j. morphol; 40 (3), 2022
SUMMARY: The variations knowledge of the cerebral arterial circle (CAC) is relevant due to its influence on the development of ischemic encephalic disorders. Among these variations, when the external diameter of the posterior communicating artery exceeds the posterior cerebral artery caliber, we have a f...

Prevalence of anatomical variants of the Willis polygon in cadavers undergoing medico-legal necropsy

The primary function of the circle of Willis is to provide collateral blood flow between the anterior and posterior arterial systems of the brain. Its configuration can vary considering its vascular structures, this being considered an anatomical variant. Our study aims to determine the prevalence of the...

Fetal-type variant of the posterior cerebral artery and concurrent bilateral cerebral infarctions in a Korean male cadaver

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Fetal-type variant of the posterior cerebral artery is a relatively common variant of the cerebral arterial circle (circle of Willis), but concurrent cerebral pathologies have not been well reported. We describe a case of fetal-type variant of the posterior cerebral artery and concurrent bilater...

The arterial circle described by Willis, and the contribution of his predecessors

Rev. bras. neurol; 57 (4), 2021
The description of arteries at the base of the human brain forming an ‘arterial circle’, named after Thomas Willis, has had a long history after the restoration of human dissection, partly due to the studies of many outstanding anatomists that preceded Willis. He provided, with the collaboration of R...

Evaluación morfológica y variaciones del circulo arterial cerebral: un estudio con material cadavérico en una muestra de población colombianas

Int. j. morphol; 39 (5), 2021
RESUMEN: El círculo arterial cerebral (CAC) mencionado también como polígono de Willis es una red de anastomosis vascular situado en la base del cerebro, constituido por ramas de la arteria carótida interna (ACI) y del sistema vertebro-basilar. Este estudio evaluó la morfología de las arterias que ...

Variantes anatómicas del círculo arterial cerebral en un anfiteatro universitario en Bogotá (Colombia)

Resumen Introducción: el cerebro es un órgano altamente irrigado, y esta irrigación es suministrada por el círculo arterial cerebral: una red arterial anastomótica con frecuentes variaciones anatómicas, algunas asociadas con patologías. El objetivo es describir las características antropométri...

Vascularization of the Alouatta belzebul brain base

Pesqui. vet. bras; 40 (4), 2020
We studied the arterial circle in the brain of five specimens of the Alouatta belzebul primate. The material had the arterial system perfused (water at 40°C), injected with stained latex (Neoprene 650), fixed in aqueous formaldehyde solution (10%) and dissected for vessel verification. The arterial circ...

Morphological configuration and topography of the brain arterial supply of the one-humped camel ( Camelus dromedarius, Linnaeus 1758)

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
This study investigated the anatomy of the arteries of the brain, including the arterial circle of the brain, its branches and junctions, in five camel (Camelus dromedarius, Linnaeus 1758) following intravascular injection of colored latex via common carotid artery. The course and distribution of the art...
