66. Variants -COW
Complete COW –only 20 –
25%
Posterior circle anomalies –
50% anatomy specimens
Common variants
•Hypoplasia of 1 or both PCoA
– 34%
•Fetal origin of PCA from ICA
67. •Hypoplasia or absent A1 ACA
segment.
•Absent , duplicate or
multichannel ACoA – 10-15%
Variants - COW
72. Recurrent Artery of Heubner
• Largest of the perforating
branches.
• May arise from A1 or A2
segment.
• A1 – 44%
• Proximal A2 – 50%
• ACoA – less common
• Derives its name from the
fact that it doubles back on
its parent artery at an acute
angle to join lenticulostriate
vessel.
• Lies parallel to A1.
73. A2 segment- Interhemispheric segment
From ACoA junction
Ascend in front of 3rd ventricle in cistern
of lamina terminalis

74. Cortical A3 segment
• Supply the anterior 2/3rds
of medial hemispheric
surface + small superior
area over the convexities.
• Callosomarginal a.– lies in
cingulate gyrus supplies
medial frontal lobe
79. Azygous ACA – solitary unpaired vessel
Single trunk from confluence of A1 segments of right n left ACAs- supplies
both hemispheres .
Assc with lobar holoprosencephaly, saccular aneursym
80. • Normally A1
segment runs
over the optic
nerve.
• Here it runs
below the optic
nerve.
• Assc with
aneurysms .
• Recognised
before
surgeries.
Infraoptic origin of ACA
81. Variable branches to C/L
hemisphere.
Separate right n left ACA.
1 ACA is dominant than
other and it sends branches
to other hemisphere.
Other ACA is hypoplastic –
terminate as orbitofrontal
or frontopolar branch.
