Carotid rete mirabile is an arterial meshwork, occurring at the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Rete mirabile in humans is not present during normal development of the intracranial circulation and hence is considered as a collateral pathway that develops as a consequence of segmental agenesis of the ICA. We report three cases of this rare entity encountered at our institute.
颈动脉奇网是一种动脉网,出现在颈内动脉(ICA)的海绵窦段。人类颅内循环正常发育过程中不存在奇网,因此它被认为是一种因ICA节段性发育不全而形成的侧支循环途径。我们报告了在我们研究所遇到的三例这种罕见病例。
