Background: Sprouting blood vessels, reaching the aimed location, and establishing the proper connections are vital for building vascular networks. Such biological processes are subject to precise molecular regulation. So far, the mechanistic insights into understanding how blood vessels grow to the correct position are limited.

Transient embryonic carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomoses can intermittently persist beyond the embryonic period. These vascular anomalies are often serendipitously identified during evaluation for unrelated disease states and pathologies. The persistent proatlantal intersegmental artery is one such recognized rare fetal anastomotic connection, often arising unilaterally.

Primitive anastomotic arteries temporarily exist between the future internal carotid and vertebrobasilar arteries during the early embryonic period(between 28 and 32 days of life). The primitive trigeminal, otic, hypoglossal, and proatlantal intersegmental arteries serve as major blood channels to the developing vertebrobasilar circulation at this stage. These arteries are replaced by the posterior communicating and vertebral arteries, and the primitive anastomotic arteries rapidly regress following the development of the definitive vertebrobasilar circulation.

The persistent proatlantal intersegmental artery is a rare variant of persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomoses, especially their bilateral presence is rarer. We report a case of bilateral typeII persistent proatlantal intersegmental artery. The absence of bilateral vertebral arteries was incidentally noted on neck ultrasound examination.

Purpose: The splenic artery (SA) is the largest and most tortuous branch of the celiac trunk with a wide spectrum of variants, particularly in its terminal branches.
Methods: The current study presents a systematic review of the English literature on the SA variations, with emphasis on its terminal branching patterns.
Results: Thirty cadaveric studies (3132 specimens) were included in the analysis.
