The introduction of cadaveric dissection of cerebral vasculature as a part of the neurosurgical training module would help the neurosurgical residents to understand the complex neuroanatomy of the brain vasculature and help gain confdence during the surgical procedure.To the best of our knowledge microsurgical anatomical studies of theMCA have not been done among the Northwest Indian population. Anatomical variations of MCA that have not been described before may come in as a surprise during any surgical intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the microsurgical anatomy of the Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) in the Northwest Indian population using cadaveric brains, as this specific anatomy has not been described before.
  • Researchers examined 15 cadaveric brains, analyzing 30 vessels in terms of diameter, length, and branching patterns using high magnification tools and compared the data to existing literature.
  • Findings showed the MCA's main trunk measurements and branching patterns were consistent with other studies, highlighting the need for this knowledge in neurosurgery, especially for residents and surgeons involved in treating MCA-related conditions.

Objective: Indirect bypass surgeries for moyamoya disease have included modifications of procedures involving placement of the superficial temporal artery on the brain pial surface. We evaluate the functional and angiographic outcomes of patients treated with encephaloduroarteriomyosynangiosis (indirect) revascularization and examine the outcome in relation to demographic and radiological factors.

Materials And Methods: Patients treated surgically for moyamoya disease over a 14-year period were identified.
