Transpositions and anastomoses between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar arteries. Report of two cases

J Neurosurg. 1981 Dec;55(6):967-70. doi: 10.3171/jns.1981.55.6.0967.

Abstract

Two cases are reported in which anastomotic procedures between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar arteries were useful for the management of occlusive and aneurysmal disease of the posterior circulation. Operative procedures such as these may play a role in the future management of vascular problems in this system.
