OBJECTIVE: The Cycle of Willis unites the internal carotid and vertebrobasilar system and maintains the stability of blood supply to the brain. This present study aims to analyze the anatomic variations in the anterior part of the Cycle of Willis.
METHODS: Forty five formalin-preserved human brains (90 cerebral hemispheres) with intact dura mater from Chinese adults were dissected under the surgical microscope. The anterior components of the Circle of Willis were observed and measured. Anatomic variations of this segment were observed and photographed. The data collected in this investigation was statistically analyzed.
RESULTS: In approximately 13.3% (6/45) of all cerebral samples, a caliber difference of ≥ 0.5 mm was noted between the left A1 and the right segments. The A2 segments of left and right hemispheres were derived from the contralateral A1 segment in 6.7% (3/45) of the brain specimens. Simple anterior communicating artery (ACoA) was observed in 37.8% (17/45) whereas complex ACoA was noted in 60% (27/45) of cerebral samples.
CONCLUSION: As it demonstrates the anatomic variations of ACAC, all surgical approaches should be performed after angiographic demonstrations. Understanding of these anatomic variations plays a pivotal role in neurovascular procedures.
