The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), with its unique anatomical complexity, is of
great clinical importance and involved in many diseases including aneurysm, ischemic …

The basic patterns of the cerebral arteries development are highly conserved across
vertebrates. Historical and recent studies based on human embryos, comparative anatomy …

Object. The authors describe the microsurgical anatomy of the posterior inferior cerebellar
artery (PICA) with an extradural origin and discuss its importance as a common variation …

The basic pattern of arterial vascularization is highly conserved across vertebrates and
develops under neuromeric rules. The hindbrain has an angioarchitecture that is …

Patterns of normal neurovascular anatomy need to be understood thoroughly before
''missing''anatomy or pathologic states can be appreciated. This understanding includes the …

The variation in which the posterior inferior cerebellar artery arises from the hypoglossal
branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery is thought to be related to the remnant of the …

This chapter presents the anatomy of the neurovascular system with emphasis on aspects
that would be useful for understanding and treating cerebrovascular disease. The aortic arch …

Observations concerning the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are mostly based on
embryological studies, cadaveric dissections, surgical and angiographic evaluation [1–3] …

The hypoglossal artery arises as a branch of the internal carotid artery and traverses the
hypoglossal canal. However, the hypoglossal artery arising from the external carotid artery …

The aberrant origin of the cerebellar arteries from anterior cerebral circulation is a quite rare
vascular variation. Herein, we report a 52-year-old white female with angiographically occult …
