Arteries of the Choroid Plexus

The arteries of the choroid plexus are two vessels that can be detected during an abdominal autopsy of a pregnant woman only if you know their location and that the search begins in the lateral part of the bridge. These are the middle cerebral or medial arteries of the white matter of the brain (a. Chorioideapleurae), located downward from the optic canal (tractus opticus). If they are found, they most likely cannot be felt. They can be completely cut during a Lorenz craniotomy, but are mistakenly classified as carotid arteries (a. cerebrales); Therefore, at this stage of pregnancy (28 weeks), in order not to complicate their detection and possible rescue, I cannot advise doing this.
