ABSTRACT
Occlusion of the intracranial distal internal carotid artery (ICA) is one of the most critical conditions among the cases of acute stroke in the anterior circulation. The introduction of selective endovascular treatment first using thrombolytic agents replaced later by the mechanical thrombectomy using various devices has improved the prognosis in a certain number of these patients. Among the factors influencing the prognosis of these patients, one is the collateral circulation which in these cases is mainly characterized by leptomeningeal anastomoses. The collateral can, however, be impaired, by distal embolization and by anomalies of the Circle of Willis the aim of this study is to describe these aspects.
