  • Note:— A1 indicates precommunicating segment of the anterior cerebral artery; P1, precommunicating segment of the posterior cerebral artery; ICA, internal carotid artery. An artery with a diameter ≤0.9 mm was considered to be hypoplastic.

  • * The relevant artery was not depicted.

  • Duplicate A1s were observed.
