Abstract:
The circle of Willis is the major cerebral collateral circulation.Its anatomical variation is in populations higher.The previous studies showed that anatomical variation in circle of Willis was an independent risk factor for cerebral ischemia.This article reviews the relationship between the various anatomical variation types of the circle of Willis and cerebral ischemia.
