Abstract:
The anatomical structure of the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery and its surrounding skull base space is complex and has certain variations. There are many branches and perforating arteries in this department that supply important intracranial structures. In some intracranial aneurysm clipping surgeries, attention should be paid to protection to prevent intraoperative damage and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications. This article proposes the concept of the bifurcation complex of the internal carotid artery for the first time, and reviews the anatomical characteristics and variations of the bifurcation complex of the internal carotid artery and its branch arterial blood vessels, as well as the surgical treatment of aneurysms in this area, in order to provide reference for further clinical research.
