  2. Anterior communicating artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_communicating_artery

    The anterior communicating artery connects the two anterior cerebral arteries across the commencement of the longitudinal fissure. Sometimes this vessel is wanting, the two arteries joining to form a single trunk, which afterward divides; or it may be wholly, or partially, divided into two. Its length averages about 4 mm, but varies greatly.

  3. Anterior cerebral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cerebral_artery

    Arteries of the brain. Anterior cerebral artery labeled at the left (twice) The anterior cerebral artery is divided into 5 segments. Its smaller branches: the callosal (supracallosal) arteries are considered to be the A4 and A5 segments. [1] [2] A1 originates from the internal carotid artery and extends to the anterior communicating artery (AComm).

  4. Intracranial aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_aneurysm

    Saccular aneurysms are almost always the result of hereditary weaknesses in blood vessels and typically occur within the arteries of the circle of Willis, [20] [26] in order of frequency affecting the following arteries: [27] Anterior communicating artery; Posterior communicating artery; Middle cerebral artery; Internal carotid artery; Tip of ...

  5. Cerebral angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_angiography

    At the supraclinoid segment (C5-clinoid, C6-ophthalmic, and C7-bifurcation to posterior communicating artery (PCOM) segments), AP view is used to access the terminal branches such as anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) while oblique view (25 to 35 degrees) is used to access the ACA, anterior communicating artery (ACOM ...

  6. Aneurysm - Wikipedia

    [10] The kidney, including renal artery aneurysms and intraparenchymal aneurysms. [11] Capillary aneurysms are flesh-colored solitary lesions, resembling an intradermal nevus, which may suddenly grow larger and darker and become blue-black or black as a result of thrombosis. [12] The large vessels such as external and internal jugular veins [13]

  7. Circle of Willis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_Willis

    The posterior communicating artery is given off as a branch of the internal carotid artery just before it divides into its terminal branches - the anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The anterior cerebral artery forms the anterolateral portion of the circle of Willis, while the middle cerebral artery does not contribute to the circle.

  8. Central arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_arteries

    Anteromedial central arteries [1] (also anteromedial perforating arteries, or anteromedial ganglionic arteries) are arteries that arise from the anterior cerebral artery and anterior communicating artery, and pass into the substance of the cerebral hemispheres through the (medial portion of) the anterior perforated substance to supply the optic chiasm, (anterior nucleus, preoptic area, and ...

  9. Intraventricular hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    The bleeding can involve the anterior communicating artery or the posterior communicating artery. In both adults and infants, IVH can cause dangerous increases in ICP, damage to the brain tissue, and hydrocephalus. [9] [21]
