ABSTRACT
During routine dissection in the laboratory was observed the presence of a variation of the superior cerebellarartery in a brain of a young adult male. This artery belongs to the vertebral-basilar system and is branch ofthe basilar artery, prior to its bifurcation giving rise to the posterior cerebral arteries. This variation is clinicallyimportant due to cerebellar infarctions that affect a significant portion of the population, and records of thistype of variation become important especially for the few records that are found in literature.
