“…The subcallosal artery is a major contributor to the blood supply of the medial portions of the rostrum and genu of the corpus callosum.The median callosal artery is present in 30% of the specimens an anatomical variations. This artery followed the same course as that of the subcallosal artery and supplies the same structures, except that its distal extension reached the body and frequently even the splenium of the corpus callosum (Kahilogullari et al, 2008;Türe et al, 1996;Kakou et al, 1998).…”

“…The pericallosal artery gives rise to four types of branches that supply the corpus callosum, these are the callosal artery; cingulocallosal artery; long callosal artery; and recurrent cingulocallosal artery. The callosal arteries are thin branches which directly supply the indusium griseum and the superficial surface of the corpus callosum in the midline (Kahilogullari et al, 2008;Türe et al, 1996). The cingulocallosal arteries bring the chief supply to the corpus callosum.…”

“…These arise from the inferolateral aspect of the pericallosal artery and run laterally into the callosal sulcus, where they are divided into three arterial subgroups (Türe et al, 1996) which supply the corpus callosum, the cingulate gyrus and the radiation of the corpus callosum.The cingulocallosal arteries anastomosing with each other and with branches arising from the subcallosal, median callosal and long callosal arteries to form the pericallosal pial plexus. The long callosal artery is found almost in half of the hemispheres, it is an another branch arising from the pericallosal artery, courses parallel with it in the callosal sulcus and has multiple branches that contributed to the pericallosal pial plexus (Kahilogullari et al, 2008;Türe et al, 1996) .The artery ends in the body of the corpus callosum or in the medial longitudinal striae at the splenium and anastomosis with the posterior pericallosal artery of the same hemisphere or is crossed the midline and anastomosed with the posterior pericallosal artery of the opposite hemisphere, both within the callosal sulcus in the splenial region. The recurrent cingulocallosal artery is a thin branch, arises from major cortical branches of the pericallosal artery: It courses on the medial surface of the cingulate gyrus toward the callosal sulcus, present in 45% of the subjects (Türe et al, 1996) and contributed to the pericallosal pial plexus (Kahilogullari et al, 2008;Türe et al, 1996).…”

In addition to the pericallosal artery, the perforating branches of the anterior communicating artery participate in providing blood supply to the corpus callosum.The hypothalamic artery (which do not supply the corpus callosum); subcallosal artery; and median callosal artery spring from these branches.…”

“…The median ACA usually curves around the genu and ends at the level of the body of the corpus callosum (26). The cause of this variation is unknown although this artery can be the result of the persistent or patent development of the median artery of corpus callosum, possibly due to a hypoplastic ACA (11, 57, 61).…”

SegmentationVarious authors have used different terms to describe the segments of the ACA (36,64,68). It can be divided into proximal and distal segments, or pre-and postcommunicating segments. The pericallosal artery is distal to the A1 segment and consists of several segments that can be divided according to its relationship with the corpus callosum. The A2 segment (also referred to as the infracallosal section) runs vertically █ INTRODUCTION T he cerebral cortex is primarily supplied by the anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries. The anatomy of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) varies considerably and this complicates the description of the ACA and its branches. The segmentation of the ACA is mostly described similarly by different authors, although the relationship of the pericallosal (PrcA) and callosomarginal arteries (CmA) is not agreed upon (78).The anterior cerebral artery (ACA) varies considerably and this complicates the description of the normal anatomy. The segmentation of the ACA is mostly agreed on by different authors, although the relationship of the pericallosal and callosomarginal arteries (CmA) is not agreed upon. The two basic configurations of the ACA are determined by the presence or absence of the CmA.The diameter, length and origin of the cortical branches have been measured and described by various authors and display great variability. Common anomalies of the ACA include the azygos, bihemispheric, and median anterior cerebral arteries.A pilot study was done on 19 hemispheres to assess the variation of the branches of the ACA. The most common variations included absence and duplication. The inferior internal parietal artery and the CmA were most commonly absent and the paracentral lobule artery was the most frequently duplicated (36.8%). The inferior internal parietal artery originated from the posterior cerebral artery in 40.0% and this was the most unusual origin observed.It is important to be aware of the possibility of variations since these variations can have serious clinical implications. The knowledge of these variations can be helpful to clinicians and neurosurgeons. The aim of this article is to review the anatomy and variations of the anterior cerebral artery, as described in the literature. This was also compared to the results from a pilot study.

The aim of this study was to provide detailed information about the arterial vascularization of the splenium of the corpus callosum (CC). The splenium is unique in that it is part of the largest commissural tract in the brain and a region in which pathologies are seen frequently. An exact description of the arterial vascularization of this part of the CC remains under debate. Thirty adult human brains (60 hemispheres) were obtained from routine autopsies. Cerebral arteries were separately cannulated and injected with colored latex. Then, the brains were fixed in formaldehyde, and dissections were performed using a surgical microscope. The diameter of the arterial branches supplying the splenium of the CC at their origin was investigated, and the vascularization patterns of these branches were observed. Vascular supply to the splenium was provided by the anterior pericallosal artery (40%) from the anterior circulation and by the posterior pericallosal artery (88%) and posterior accessory pericallosal artery (50%) from the posterior circulation. The vascularization pattern of the splenium differs in each hemisphere and is usually supplied by multiple branches. The arterial vascularization of the splenium of the CC was studied comprehensively considering the ongoing debate and the inadequacy of the studies on this issue currently available in the literature. This anatomical knowledge is essential during the treatment of pathologies in this region and especially for splenial arteriovenous malformations.
