7.3 Arteries oftheBrain: Anatomy andUltrasound
The goal of transcranial Doppler (TCD) combined with the transcranial color-coded
duplex sonography (TCCS) is an integral approach to measure the velocities of the
cerebral blood ow (CBF) in the circle of Willis.
A deep understanding of cerebral vascular anatomy and its common anatomical
variations is an absolute prerequisite to interpret TCD/TCCS.
7.3.1 Cerebral Circulation: Circle ofWillis (Fig.7.11)
The circle of Willis is an anastomotic vascular structure located at the base of the
brain (around the interpeduncular cistern) constituted by two large arterial systems:
The anterior circulation system is supplied by both internal carotid arteries and the
posterior circulation system, which consists of the vertebrobasilar arterial system.
This vascular structure is often asymmetric with absent and/or hypoplastic vessels (51%) on its conformation and anatomical presentation. Between 20% and 49%
of the population have anatomical variations in the circle of Willis [15, 18].

7.3.1.2 Anterior Circulation
Carotid System
The carotid arteries originate bilaterally at the base of the neck from the subclavian
artery. Both common carotid arteries may differ in length and origin. Right CCA is
branched from the brachiocephalic trunk, and the left CCA branches directly from
the aortic arch. The CCA, in the carotid triangle of neck, will then divide into the
ICA and the ECA [15].

Internal Carotid Artery (Fig.7.12)
This artery supplies most of the cerebral hemispheres, the eye, and other accessory organs.
• Diameter: 4.5mm.
• Length: 250mm.
The ICA is divided into four portions (caudal to cephalic) and seven subsegmentations [16] (Fig.7.12):
(a) Cervical portion (C7 Segment).
(b) Petrosal portion (C6 Segment).
(c) Cavernous portion.
• C3 segment (carotid syphon).
– Can be monitored by TCD and TCCS through transorbital and transtem-
poral acoustic windows [24].

TCD: Depth 55–70mm (transorbital window).
TCCS: Transtemporal window (axial approach: superior pontine plane
and anterior coronal plane approach)
• C4 segment.
• C5 segment.
(d) Cerebral portion.
• C1 segment.
Before terminal bifurcation can be measured:
TCCS: Anterior coronal plane through transtemporal window.
Duplex: Ipsilateral C1 segment: red color
• C1 segment: Terminal branches.
1. Anterior cerebral artery.
2. Middle cerebral artery.
• C2 segment (caudal to cephalic).
1. Ophthalmic artery (OA).
TCD: Depth 40–50mm (transorbital window).
TCCS: Transtemporal acoustic window (superior pontine plane) and
transorbital acoustic window
2. Posterior communicating artery.
3. Anterior choroidal artery (AChA).

Other Anatomical Classication
The ICA is divided into four segments (caudal to cephalic): [17].
1. C1 segment (cervical).
2. C2 segment (petrosal).
3. C3 segment (cavernous).
4. C4 segment (supraclinoid).
• Ophthalmic artery.
• Posterior communicating artery.
• Anterior choroidal artery.
Anterior Cerebral Artery
It is the smallest branch of the two terminals of the internal carotid artery. It branches
at the inner end of the Sylvian ssure [19, 24].
The anterior cerebral artery is subdivided into ve segments:
(a) Precommunicating segment.
A1 Segment
• Average diameter: 1.6–2.5mm.
