“…[8,11] with emotional and motivational symptoms. [4,12] In this study, a normal ACoA connecting two A1 segments of equal diameter was observed in 33.3% of cases while it was 41.5% in other study [14] The average length of ACoA in this study was 3.3 mm (3-4 mm) compared to 2.6 mm to other studies. [4] Anomalous ACoA was observed to be 40% as compared to 59% in other study.…”

“…[8][9][10][11] The diameter of the artery and length (due to multiple loops) varies highly, and similar results were observed in this study. [8,9,12] Owing to multiple loops, the length of the RAH varied significantly, [13] we found the length of RAH to vary from 16 mm to 28 mm. RAH in relation to the A1 trunk had superior course, anterior course or posterior course.…”

“…It penetrates the lateral portion of the anterior perforating substance [7]. The course of the RAH is closely related to the posterior portion of the orbitofrontal cortex and mainly to the gyrus rectus [6, 8]. The artery passes inferiorly and laterally to the origin of olfactory striae before reaching the anterior perforating substance [3].…”

“…The RAH supplies blood to the medial portion of the orbitofrontal cortex, the anterior portion of the caudate nucleus, the anterior third of the putamen, the external segment of the globus pallidus, and the anterior crus of the internal capsule [1, 2, 6, 8, 9]. The artery also supplies the olfactory region, the anterior hypothalamus, the nucleus accumbens, parts of the uncinate fasciculus, the diagonal band of Broca, and the basal nucleus of Meynert [3, 8, 10–12].…”

The recurrent artery of Heubner (RAH) is the largest vessel of the medial lenticulostriate arteries. It supplies many deep structures, mainly the corpus striatum, the globus pallidus, and the anterior crus of the internal capsule. The aim of the present paper was studying the morphological variations of the RAH and its diameter in relation to different areas of origin. The series contained the records from 183 formalin-fixed adult human brains. The calibrated digital images of the studied brains were evaluated and measured by Image J, which can calculate the number of pixels and convert them to metric measures. The RAH arose most often from the postcommunicating part of the anterior cerebral artery (47.81%). It originated from the precommunicating part of the anterior cerebral artery in 3.55% and at the level of the anterior communicating artery in 43.4% of cases. The RAH was missing in 5.19% and doubled in 6.28% of cases. The mean outer diameter of the RAH was 0.6 mm. The maximal measured diameter was 1.34 mm, and the minimal diameter was 0.19 mm. The awareness of the various anatomical and morphometric variations of the RAH is essential in planning the neurosurgical procedures to avoid unexpected neurological complications.
