Fig. 2. Complex of arteries on the Ventral Surface of the Brain

A diagram illustrating the complex of arteries seen on the ventral surface of the brain.

The arteries drawn in solid black represent the 4 large arteries supplying the brain and the constant group of small arteries supplying specific areas of the brain.

The arteries lying inside the elliptoid line and which are stippled represent the highly variable, medium-sized group.

Eighty-five % of cerebral aneurysms are located inside the elliptoid line, occurring on the variable group of arteries.
