Angiography Analysis of Variations of the Posterior Segment of the Circle of Willis

Abstract: Cerebral-vascular diseases present one of the leading problems of the modern mankind. They are followed by the risk of high mortality rate, and as such cause high level of disability with people who survive cerebral-vascular incident (stroke, apoplexy). Researches done so far proved that beginning, course and result of the cerebral-vascular diseases depend immensely of the possibility to establish collateral blood circulation and first of all on so called tertian level that is actually the circle of Willis.

“…The P1 segment of the PCA was the precommunicating segment of the PCA. The incidence of P1 hypoplasia measured 3% in an autopsy study of Voljevica et al [7]. To the best of our knowledge, no reports have mentioned the probability of dynamic transformation in a P1 segment.…”

“…The circle of Willis, through its communicating segments, provides an alternative route for the blood to reach parts of the brain which, due to insufficiency, do not receive enough quantity of blood. 38 However, in cases such as the one reported here, due to the absence of communicating arteries, the alternative routes may not be available.…”

“…1 and 2). The diagnosis of A1, PCoA and P1 segment hypoplasia was based on MRA (if <1 mm in diameter, including segments not visible on MRA) [7]. FLAIR imaging (18,000/119/2,000 [inversion time ms]) was performed with two signals acquired (acquisition time of 4 min 24 s for 15 sections, echo train length of seven, 180–224 × 256 matrix, and a field of view of 150–220 mm).…”

“…Applying the WML load scoring method designed by Fazekas et al [6] and the criteria of CoW anomaly defined by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) [7], we hypothesized that CoW anomalies may contribute to LA in victims of severe carotid artery stenosis through impaired cerebral autoregulation. …”
