Brain Artery Deep

The deep cerebral artery (a.profunda cerebri), also known as the artery of Crouzon, is one of the largest arteries in the brain. It originates from the internal carotid artery and passes through the dura mater before joining the posterior communicating artery, which is a branch of the basilar artery. The artery may be associated with a complication such as ischemic stroke, which occurs when blood flow is blocked.

The Deep Brain Artery is an important component of the circulatory system, providing the brain with oxygen and other essential nutrients. In addition, it plays a key role in supplying the brain with blood, with the arteries of the Deep Brain occupying about 20% of the total blood supply to the brain. It is because of this that the artery is a possible target during various procedures, such as embolization or angiography.

Modern diagnostic methods, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, make it possible to visualize the Deep Brain artery and evaluate its condition. An important aspect is the use of modern image processing technologies, which help more accurately diagnose possible changes in the artery.

In addition, examination of the artery can help in planning brain surgery, such as removing tumors or dissecting tissue for various lesions, since unwanted compression of the vessel may occur. However, it should be remembered that certain tests in the case of arterial insufficiency can sometimes cause stenosis of the artery and cause cerebral ischemia, which can lead to deterioration or dysfunction of the organ.

In some cases, the artery may be visible on the CT screen due to increased contrast. Narrowness or narrowing of the artery of the brain can occur due to atherosclerosis - blockage of the lumen of the artery with calcium plaques. In this case, a narrowing of the lumen and an increase in the venous component of blood flow into the system may occur.

An aneurysm, an abnormal enlargement of part of the wall of an artery in the brain, can also cause a narrowing or reduction in the lumen of this artery. Cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion usually does not cause any symptoms as long as blood flow to the area is maintained.
