Anomalous branching of the middle meningeal artery from the basilar artery: a systematic review.

Background: Anomalous origin of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) from the basilar artery is a rare congenital neurological variant that has been detected in both children and adults with diagnoses ranging from intracranial haemorrhage to ependymoma. This review aims to investigate the anatomical course of an anomalous basilar-middle meningeal artery and its clinical presentation.

Methods: A systematic search was performed in PubMed using the keywords (middle meningeal artery) and (basilar artery).

Characteristics of Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Positive Cerebrospinal Fluid: A Systematic Review.
