Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Less than half of all subjects display a normal configuration of the Circle of Willis, according to anatomical studies. Variations of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) such as duplication or accessory MCA are infrequent but nevertheless have important clinical implications. We report the case of two patients with these variations of the MCA and their repercussions in the management of acute stroke...
