ABSTRACT

SUMMARY:

The structure formed by the arteries, which is of great importance in the irrigation of the brain, is called the cerebral arterial circle (Polygon of Willis). Since the cerebral arterial circle provides brain nutrition, vascularabnormalities in this region are highly relevant. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the variations of the cerebral arterial circle in cadavers of Turkish individuals. In our study, 32 human cadavers obtained from three different universities were retrospectively examined. Brain tissue obtained from cadavers by craniotomy was kept in 20 % formaldehyde solution for an average of 10 days for fixation. Cerebral arterial circle diagrams were determined in all cadavers by staining and photographs were taken. As a result of the brain examinations, a variation of the cerebral arterial circle was detected in 24/32 brains. Vascular variations have an important place in congenital variations. For this reason, we believe that our brain study will contribute to clinical studies on this topic by investigating variations of the cerebral arterial circle.
RESUMEN
La estructura formada por las arterias que tiene una gran importancia en la irrigación del cerebro se denomina círculo arterial cerebral (Polígono de Willis). Dado que el círculo arterial cerebral proporciona la irrigación cerebral, las anomalías vasculares en esta región son muy relevantes. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de nuestro estudio fue examinar las variaciones del círculo arterial cerebral en cadáveres de individuos turcos. En nuestro estudio, se examinaron retrospectivamente 32 cadáveres humanos obtenidos de tres universidades diferentes. El tejido cerebral de los cadáveres fue obtenido por craneotomía y se mantuvo en solución de formaldehído al 20 %, durante 10 días en promedio para su fijación. Se determinaron los diagramas de círculo arterial cerebral en todos los cadáveres mediante coloración y se tomaron fotografías. Como resultado de los exámenes, se detectó una variación del círculo arterial cerebral en 24/32 de los cerebros. Las variaciones vasculares tienen un lugar importante en las variaciones congénitas. Por esta razón, creemos que nuestro estudio contribuirá a estudios clínicos sobre el tema al pesquisar las variaciones del círculo arterial cerebral.
