Morphometric Analysis of Basilar Artery in KaraikalPopulaltion
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
: Basilar artery is formed by the fusion of right and left vertebral artery and terminates as right and left posterior cerebral artery. The aim of the study is to observe and record the length of the basilar artery from the level of formation to level of termination and the diameter of basilar artery at three different levels. The study was done in 50 adult human cadaveric brains from Department of Anatomy, Vinayaka Missions Medical College, and Karaikal. The length and diameter was measured using Digital Verniercalipher. The mean length is 30.98mm and the range is 21-45mm in our study. And the mean diameter at three different levels is 3.55mm. These variations in the length and diameter of basilar artery is of diagnostic importance for the neurosurgeons and radiologists for clinical investigation and surgery. Keywords:vertebral artery, basilar artery, formation of basilar artery, termination of basilar artery, length of basilar artery, diameter of basilar artery
