Introduction

This book is an extensive and unique study dedicated to the development of the cerebral vessels from the start to the final result in the adult, describing normal and anomalous evolution.

The first part of the monography deals with the development of the vessels in which two periods have been identified: the embryogenic period starting after the fertilization to the embryo of 50-56 days of age and the fetal period up to the birth.

The second part is the adult period in which the final development is described and documented on the basis of angiographic studies.

Scope of the Book

The book will discuss the evolution of all arteries, including the intracerebral sectors as well as specific territories such as the ophthalmic artery. A separate chapter is dedicated to the veins. 

Intended Audience

This richly illustrated book is a valuable resource to neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists specializing on cerebral vessels in their research and clinical practice.
