title: Anatomy of the pericallosal pial plexus in man.
abstract: Fine arterial branches on the superior surface of corpus callosum were investigated on 22 human brains under stereomicroscope. These branches were directed toward: 1. the upper surface of corpus callosum (3-6 branches, mean 8), 2. the depths of the sulcus corporis callosi (4-13 branches, mean 7), and 3. the cingulate gyrus (1-10 branches, mean 5). All the vessels composing the pericallosal pial plexus have a uniformed caliber of 0.9-0.6 mm at their origins, and 0.7-0.3 mm after branching. In 9 cases a longitudinal vessel within the stria longitudinalis medialis, connected with the pial plexus was found. Important details of morphology of this plexus and their significance are discussed.
