Angiographic Study of the Anatomical Variations of the Anterior Communicating Artery Complex |......

The first paragraph is an introduction. Two anterior cerebral arteries (ACA), the anterior communicating artery (AComA), and the Heubner residual arteries make up the anterior communicating artery complex. The ACA is divided into three segments: A1 comes from the internal carotid artery, A2 from the AComA, and A3 from the pericallosal artery. The ACoA complex's anatomical differences are not properly discussed. The aim of this study is to look for anatomical differences in the ACoA complex in people who don't have any intracranial vascular disease.


The object of this research is to find out about the anatomical variations of the anterior communicating artery complex.


Patients and Methods: A total of 70 people were enrolled in the study, and the vascular anatomy was visualised using Automated Subtraction Angiography and Computed Tomography Angiography.


Results: Aplastic ACoA in 14.29 percent (10 patients), unilateral A1 ACA segment hypoplasia in 7.14 percent (5 patients), and unilateral A1 ACA segment aplasia in 2.86 percent (2 patients).


Conclusion: Aplastic ACoA is the most common anatomical variant.
