Anatomy review for Neurosurgery
rotation:
angiography

Here is a review of basic arterial angiography of the central nervous system. You will see
these images, or images like these, frequently. Impress them on your 10-billion neurons,
at least for these two weeks.

Annotated arterial angiograms include:

aortic arch

carotid bifurcation

in the neck

AP view

of internal carotid in the head

lateral view

of internal carotid in the head

AP view of vertebrobasilar

artery system

lateral view of vertebrobasilar

artery system

what is

A1, A2, M1, M2

anyway?

Had enough? No? On, then, to a

lagniappe

:

carotid artery after subarachnoid hemorrhage but prior to delayed ischemic deficit

carotid artery after (fatal) delayed ischemic deficit develops

Aortic arch

Note the three vessels taking off from the top of the arch from right to left:

the brachiocephalic (AKA "innominate") artery

the left common carotid artery

the left subclavian artery

Carotid bifurcation in the neck

Note that the internal carotid artery has no branches in the neck, a trick for identifying it
when the anatomy is complicated. Also note that the normal initial segment of the
internal carotid artery has a diameter about that of the common carotid artery. Use this to
compare with stenosis of the internal carotid artery (which typically occurs here).

AP view of internal carotid A in the head

OK, if both L and R anterior cerebral arteries are filling from the L internal carotid artery,
which communicating artery must be patent? What is the circle of Willys? These
questions are left as an exercise (to quote the old math books).

The red line shows the top of the "middle cerebral A candelabra," an important landmark
in these angiograms. What does the posterior communicating artery connect to? Where
does the ophthalmic artery leave the carotid A ?

background image

OK, of the three main arteries of the posterior fossa, which two branch off the basilar
artery? What artery does the other one branch off of? Which one typically causes
trigeminal neuralgia? Hemifacial spasm? Obstruction of which artery causes the lateral
medullary (Wallenberg) syndrome? Why do neurosurgeons sweat when they get near
the basilar tip perforators during aneurysm surgery? Just asking.

OK, what nerve runs between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar A's? What
dural structure? What are the two top differential diagnoses for a painful third nerve
palsy? What is a Chiari malformation? What angiographic abnormality is common in
Chiari malformations?

A1, A2, M1, M2, etc.

background image

So the middle cerebral artery is divided into M1 and M2 segments by its trifurcation in
the Sylvian fissure. Similarly, anterior cerebral artery proximal to the anterior
communicating artery is the A1, and distal to the Acom is the A2. Simple, huh?
