Anatomy of the Intracranial Arteries: The Internal Carotid Artery. Neuroimaging clinics of North America Wolman, D. N., Moraff, A. M., Heit, J. J. 2022; 32 (3): 603-615

Abstract

Here we describe the segmental and branch angiographic anatomy of the internal carotid artery with particular regard to embryologic development, clinically important anastomotic pathways, and cerebrovascular diseases, such as aneurysm development.
