The meningeal branches of vertebral artery (posterior meningeal branch) springs from the vertebral opposite the foramen magnum, ramifies between the bone and dura mater in the cerebellar fossa, and supplies the falx cerebelli. [1] [2] [3] It is frequently represented by one or two small branches.
The leptomeningeal collateral circulation (also known as leptomeningeal anastomoses or pial collaterals) is a network of small blood vessels in the brain that connects branches of the middle, anterior and posterior cerebral arteries (MCA, ACA, and PCA), [1] with variation in its precise anatomy between individuals. [2]
The posterior meningeal artery is one of the meningeal branches of the ascending pharyngeal artery (and is typically considered the terminal branch of said artery). It passes through the jugular foramen to enter the posterior cranial fossa. [1] It is the largest vessel supplying the dura of the posterior cranial fossa. [citation needed]

The middle meningeal artery is the largest of the three (paired) arteries that supply the meninges, the others being the anterior meningeal artery and the posterior meningeal artery. The anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery runs beneath the pterion. It is vulnerable to injury at this point, where the skull is thin.
The mastoid foramen is a hole in the posterior border of the temporal bone of the skull. [1] The opening of the mastoid foramen is an average of 18 mm from the asterion, [2] and around 34 mm from the external auditory meatus. [3] It is typically very narrow. [1] [3] This may be around 2 mm. [3]

Each posterior communicating artery is situated within the interpeduncular cistern, superolateral to the pituitary gland. [2]: 450 Each are is situated upon the medial surface of the ipsilateral cerebral peduncle [1]: 477 and adjacent to the anterior perforated substance.
