“…Arterial plexus at the cavernous region, which supplies the intradural ICA instead of the aplastic cavernous portion of ICA, looks like the "rete mirabile" seen in the lower mammals, and is a characteristic angiographical finding of CRM.

Rete mirabile (or carotid rete) is a normal structure that plays physiological roles in the lower mammals. However, the rete does not exist in the normal carotid circulation of humans. Carotid rete mirabile (CRM) is a rare condition compensating for congenital dysplastic internal carotid artery. Arterial plexus at the cavernous region, which supplies intradural internal carotid artery instead of the aplastic cavernous portion of internal carotid artery, looks like the "rete mirabile" seen in the lower mammals, and is a characteristic angiographical finding of CRM. In addition to the CRM, existence of segmental occlusion and tortuous collaterals of vertebral artery, so-called carotid and vertebral rete mirabile (CVRM), is a very rare condition. We report a 70-year-old female patient with bilateral CVRM presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by the rupture of a cervical spinal artery aneurysm. Our patient is the oldest, compared with the previously reported four patients with CVRM. Moreover, this is the first report of ruptured spinal artery aneurysm as a cause of SAH associated with CRM/CVRM. To avoid rebleeding in the patient, we successfully treated the patients by performing coil embolization of the remaining spinal aneurysms. In patients with CVRM, aneurysm formation of the cervical spinal artery may be a reasonable consequence because of the hemodynamic stress on the spinal artery as a collateral pathway. Detailed evaluation of the cervical spinal arteries should be performed to detect or to rule out ruptured aneurysm in patients with SAH associated with CVRM.

“…CRM is present in lower mammals (dog, pig, cat, goat, etc. ), where it seems to be involved in heat, pressure and flow regulation of the brain [1,2], but is not seen in any development stage of humans [1]. Some cases of similar networks of thin arterial vessels in the vertebrobasilar system-vertebral rete mirabile (VRM)-were reported in association with CRM.…”

A new pattern of arterial rete compensation of segmental basilar agenesis associated with carotid retia mirabilia: a case report (2010: 1b)

et al. 2010

The carotid rete mirabile is a transdural arterial network centered at the parasellar area, in place of the intracavernous internal carotid artery (ICA), associated with hypoplasia or absence of the cervical and petrous ICA. Rare cases of vertebral rete mirabile associated with segmental agenesis of transdural vertebral arteries have been reported before. The authors present a new case of carotid rete mirabilia associated with segmental basilar agenesis compensated by a previously unknown pattern of arterial rete. Collateral flow, its efficacy and differential diagnosis are discussed.

Johann Vesling (1598-1649) was a German anatomist and surgeon who belonged to the golden period of the illustrious University of Padua. He made significant contributions to the advancement of anatomical knowledge during the 17th century and is remembered most for his remarkable anatomical work, the Syntagma Anatomicum, which was published in 1641. He was the first to describe the soleus muscle and to emphasize its resemblance to the sole fish. He produced the earliest illustrations of the human lymphatic system and was one of the first to document observations about the thoracic duct. He was also the first to report the bifurcation of the human hepatic portal vein on entering the fissure of the liver. His observations from embryological experiments were critical for understanding the development of the four-chambered heart. He was one of the first authors to state that four pulmonary veins empty into the left atrium of the heart. Syntagma Anatomicum (1641) was the most widely used anatomical text in Europe for almost a century and was republished a number of times with editions in Latin, German, Dutch, and English. Syntagma was the first illustrated western anatomical text to reach Japan and laid the foundation for the development of European medicine there. The illustrations used in it deviated from the artistic convention that had characterized anatomical figures from the time of Vesalius, and focused instead on representing anatomical details to make them helpful for medicine and surgery.
