Core Tip

Core Tip: In the process of anatomy of human specimens and cerebral angiography of patients, we found the unusual abnormal anatomical structure, that is, the communication between the perforating branch of anterior cerebral artery (ACA1) and the dura mater vessels of the anterior skull base, and the abnormal ophthalmic artery originated from ACA1, which is very useful for us to understand the abnormal structure of cerebral vessels.
