Abstract

The detailed knowledge of the microvascular anatomy and the recognition of the anatomical variations of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are very important for neurosurgeons to construct a better and safer microdissection plan and to prevent postoperative neurological deficits. This paper mainly reviewed segments, perforators, cortical arteries, branching patterns, anomalies, and regional anatomy relating various neurovascular surgery such as vascular anastomosis and the management of aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations of the MCA.
