Morphometric Study of Basilar Artery in the Eastern Indian Population.

Introduction: The basilar artery (BA) is formed by the fusion of right and left vertebral arteries and divides to form right and left posterior cerebral arteries. This study was done to provide a baseline database regarding length, mid-length diameter, level of origin, and level of termination of BA.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight formalin-fixed brains were obtained from cadavers dissected for undergraduate studies.
