Anatomo-surgical study of the human parieto-occipital artery (angular artery).
The parieto-occipital artery, angular artery or "du pli courbe" artery was injected with Batson's resin, and thus it was possible to study its point of origin, diameter, length and superficial course. An assessment was made of the possibility of this vessel functioning as receptor artery in the surgical anastomoses between the superficial temporal artery and cortical branches of the middle cerebral artery in the cerebral revascularization neurosurgical technique.
