Abstract excerpt
The gross anatomy of the anterior communicating artery has been studied in 40 adult brains removed at autopsy. We have observed 6 different anatomicals variant of the artery. A histological study shows that the wall of the artery is constituted with three layers: intima, media and adventitia. Moreover the structure of the arterial wall is different in some anatomicals variant. The findings are discussed.
