Abstract

The arterial vascularization of the dura mater of the anterior cranial fossa belongs to the middle meningeal artery, branch of the external carotid artery, and to the ophthalmic artery issued from the internal carotid artery. This vascular diagram presents numerous variations, whose complexity may be explained by the vascular morphogenesis. The distribution of the dural arteries and the dural microvasculature are described.
