  • Title: Microanatomy of the perforators of the anterior communicating artery complex.
    Author: Camuscu H, Dujovny M, Abd el-Bary T, Beristain X, Viñas FC.
    Journal: Neurol Res; 1997 Dec; 19(6):577-87. PubMed ID: 9427956.
    Abstract:
    We describe the microanatomy of the perforating arteries arising from the anterior communicating artery complex (5 mm distal of the anterior cerebral artery, the anterior communicating artery, and 5 mm proximal of the distal anterior cerebral artery). Thirteen unfixed human brains were used in this study. The origin and number of perforators are described, as is the site of brain penetration, and results are correlated with previous studies. The hemodynamics of blood flow in relation to the formation of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm and different surgical approaches are mentioned. The neuropsychological outcome after aneurysm clipping with regards to the pattern of blood supply from the anterior cerebral artery complex is also discussed.
