Among cases of embryonic carotid-basilar anastomosis which may persist after birth, persistent trigeminal artery is the most common. It has been associated with a wide variety of intracranial abnormalities. We are unaware of any other reported association with cavernoma. We report a young woman who experienced seizures following spontaneous abortion. A CT scan disclosed a right frontal hematoma. MRI revealed a cavernoma associated with a persistent trigeminal artery. The cavernoma was removed through a frontal approach. The aim of the present case is to report another type of lesion fortuitously associated with a persistent trigeminal artery.

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

The Arch of Aorta

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...
