The brain receives arterial supply primarily from the internal carotid and vertebral arteries. Internal carotids supply the anterior and middle cerebral regions, while vertebral arteries merge into the basilar artery, supplying the posterior brain, brainstem, and cerebellum. Anastomoses form the Circle of Willis, providing collateral circulation. Understanding arterial supply is crucial for stroke assessment, aneurysm repair, and neurosurgical planning. Variations or occlusions can cause ischemia, neurological deficits, or infarction. Knowledge of the vessel course, branches, and relationships with cranial nerves ensures safe intervention, accurate imaging interpretation, and effective management of cerebrovascular disease while maintaining perfusion to critical brain regions.
