Basic Vascular Neuroanatomy of the Brain and Spine: What the General Interventional Radiologist Needs to Know [Texto en Inglés]

Ethan A. Prince and Sun Ho Ahn

El siguiente artículo es un resumen de las claves sobre la irrigación cerebral y espinal. Es un trabajo claro y conciso que le dará al lector las claves básicas para entender la imagenología de los vasos cerebrales.

Abstract. This article is intended to provide a review of clinically relevant neurovascular anatomy. A solid understanding of the vascular anatomy of the brain and spine are essential for the safe and effective performance of neurointerventional radiology. Key concepts to master include collateral pathways and anastomoses between the external and internal carotid circulation, the Circle of Willis as a route to otherwise inaccessible intracranial vascular distributions, and the origin of spinal arterial blood supply. These concepts will be highlighted using clinical angiographic examples with discussion of relevant embryology and pathology as needed.
