Dorcas Hager Padget was a renowned neurosurgical illustrator and neuroembryologist. She collaborated closely with Walter E. Dandy, founder of the field of vascular neurosurgery, from 1928 until his death in 1946. In 1934, Hager Padget created an unpublished illustration accurately depicting a spinal perimedullary arteriovenous fistula (pmAVF) despite the fact that the exact nature of the lesion would only be described 43 years later. The illustration portrays the patient's myelopathic symptoms and pmAVF treatment by ligation and resection of a venous pouch located at the fistula site, indicating Dandy's early understanding of the lesion's architecture. Whether the illustration was created for a publication that fell to the wayside or exclusively for Dandy's patient history records remains unknown.

Purpose: The primitive lateral basilovertebral anastomosis (PLBA) is an embryonic longitudinal anastomotic channel that transiently interconnects the developing branches of the vertebrobasilar system. This study reviews the anatomy of the PLBA and describes several variants associated with its partial persistence.
Methods: Four types of vertebrobasilar anomalies linked to the PLBA are illustrated by 13 angiographic observations.

Medical illustration is an essential device for the teaching of anatomy, physiology and pathology. In surgery, illustration is more than a teaching aid and has been instrumental in the development the surgical art. This has required a close collaboration between surgeon and artist.

Dorcas Hager Padget (1906-1973), a largely self-taught illustrator, became a more polished artist under Max Brödel at Johns Hopkins Hospital, before going to work for neurosurgeon Walter Dandy. In search of more information on vascular anatomy, she became an expert neuroembryologist, first in the development of arteries and veins and later chiefly involved with anomalies of neural tube development. She was able to clarify the development of the Arnold-Chiari and Dandy-Walker syndromes.
