The aim of the article was to describe the pattern of main arteries at the encephalon base, their connections, and varieties. This study included 106 specimens of the head and cerebral arteries of the following eight species of the cervid family: reindeer, chital, Eld's deer, wapiti, sika deer, fallow deer, Pere David's deer or milu, and Reeve's or Chinese muntjac. The arteries of the animals under study were filled with acetone-dissolved stained vinyl superchloride or stained latex LBS3060. The analysis of the specimens revealed that the vascular system of the species of the studied cervid family was similar to the system described in other ruminant species. A branch diverging from the condylar artery to the rostral epidural rete mirabile is present in all studied cervids, but it can be found also in giraffe and eland. The pattern of the arterial vascularization of the encephalon base, which we observed in our analysis, confirms the morphological similarity between those animals and the correct placement of the cervid family in species taxonomy.
本文的目的是描述脑基部主要动脉的形态、它们的连接方式以及变异情况。本研究包括鹿科以下八个物种的106个头和脑动脉标本：驯鹿、斑鹿、坡鹿、马鹿、梅花鹿、黇鹿、麋鹿和 Reeves 麂或中华麂。研究动物的动脉用丙酮溶解的染色氯乙烯超氯化合物或染色乳胶LBS3060填充。对标本的分析表明，所研究的鹿科物种的血管系统与其他反刍动物物种中描述的系统相似。在所有研究的鹿中都有一条从髁动脉分支到吻侧硬膜奇网的分支，但在长颈鹿和大羚羊中也能发现。我们在分析中观察到的脑基部动脉血管形态，证实了这些动物之间的形态相似性以及鹿科在物种分类中的正确位置。
