Basilar artery

Circle of Willis 【 Note -: Major contribution of branches of Internal Carotid Artery 】 【 "Posterior" Cerebral artery is a branch of "Basilar artery" 】

License Image Shown in this illustration are aneurysms of the following blood vessels of the brain: MCA bifurcation, anterior communicating artery, basilar artery, internal carotid artery, vertebral artery.

The major arteries of the brain. (A) Ventral view (compare with Figure 1.13B). The enlargement of the boxed area shows the circle of Willis. Lateral (B) and (C) midsagittal views showing anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries. (D) Idealized frontal section showing course of middle cerebral artery.

The most common sites of Cerebral Aneurysms include the: Anterior Communicating artery (30 - 35%) Bifurcation of the Internal Carotid and Posterior Communicating artery (30 - 35%) Bifurcation of Middle cerebral (20%) Basilar artery bifurcation (5%) Remaining posterior circulation arteries (5%)

The Circle of Willis ⭕️ is a ring-like arterial structure at the base of the brain 🧠 that ensures continuous blood supply, even if one major artery is blocked. It consists of the anterior cerebral arteries (ACA), anterior communicating artery (AComA), internal carotid arteries (ICA), posterior cerebral arteries (PCA), and posterior communicating arteries (PComA). 🏨This vital network plays a crucial role in collateral circulation, helping prevent ischemia in case of arterial blockages…
