    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Anatomy
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • The basilar artery bifurcation and posterior Circle of Willis are critical neurovascular structures.
    • Variations in this region can impact surgical planning and diagnostic interpretations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To meticulously describe anatomical variations of the basilar artery bifurcation and posterior Circle of Willis.
    • To document variations in key arteries and their small branches within this region.

    Main Methods:

    • Anatomical dissection using an operating microscope.
    • Detailed observation and documentation of arterial structures and their branching patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Variations of the superior cerebellar arteries were identified.
    • Anatomical differences in the P1 segment of the posterior cerebral arteries were noted.
    • Variations in the posterior communicating arteries and their small branches (arteriae interpedunculares profundae, arteriae thalamo perforantes, arteriae chorioideae posteriores) were cataloged.

    Conclusions:

    • This study provides a detailed anatomical description of variations in the posterior Circle of Willis.
    • Knowledge of these variations is essential for neurosurgeons and radiologists.
    • Accurate anatomical understanding aids in preventing complications during cerebrovascular procedures.
