[Vascular Anatomy of the Middle Cerebral Artery and Cerebral Large Vessel Occlusion].

Abstract

The middle cerebral artery divides into the cortical and perforating branches that supply blood to the extensive cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. In addition to an understanding of the normal vessel diameter and length, endovascular physicians should be familiar with anatomical variations. Understanding the perfusion territory is important for accurate diagnosis of the disease type.
