Anatomical Studies of the Circle of Willis in Normal Brain
Abstract
Introduction The present study was undertaken in order to determine the anatomical structures of the circle of Willis,27with the purpose of learning its normal configuration, the frequency of deficient or incomplete circles, and, if possible, how these findings can be correlated with the clinical problems of vascular disease, such as infarcts, aneurysms, and vascular anomalies. There are many problems in vascular disease of the brain which make desirable an intimate knowledge of variants in the anatomy of the circle of Willis. The state of the circle becomes important in determining the adequacy of the brain circulation in operations for cerebral aneurysm and in ligation of the carotid artery. The possibility of bypassing or shunting effects in occlusion of one of the cerebral vessels and the adequacy of recovery or lack of recovery after vascular occlusion might be explained in part by variations in the anatomy of the circle

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
