	Circle of Willis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schematic representation of the circle of Willis, arteries of the brain and brain stem.
		If one part of the circle becomes blocked or narrowed (stenosed) or one of the arteries supplying the circle is blocked or narrowed, blood flow from the other blood vessels can often preserve the cerebral perfusion well enough to avoid the symptoms of ischemia.
		Contribution of the circle of Willis to the subclavian steal syndrome.

		Willis was the first natural philosopher to use the term "reflex action" to describe elemental acts of the nervous system.
		Willis proposed that the choroid plexus was responsible for the absorption of cerebrospinal fluid.

		Hillen [24], in his analysis of 100 circles of Willis in adults, indicated that variation of the circle is based on a delicate hemodynamic "tuning" of all segments and that the relations between diameters of segments exists without reference to flow changes in the afferent arteries during movement of the neck.
		According to Stehbens [32], topographical modification of the circle occurs during postnatal development of the brain and with arteriectasis, atherosclerosis, and secondary modification of collateral vessels in pathological occlusive disease.
		Van Overbeeke and colleagues [19], examining the posterior segment of 53 complete circles of Willis on fetal and neonatal brains, concluded that variations of this segment were the result of developmental modification, especially with increased functional demands in connection with the rapid growth of the occipital lobes.

		The cerebral arteries are derived from the internal carotid and vertebral, which at the base of the brain form a remarkable anastomosis known as the arterial circle of Willis.
		It is formed in front by the anterior cerebral arteries, branches of the internal carotid, which are connected together by the anterior communicating; behind by the two posterior cerebral arteries, branches of the basilar, which are connected on either side with the internal carotid by the posterior communicating (Figs.
		The parts of the brain included within this arterial circle are the lamina terminalis, the optic chiasma, the infundibulum, the tuber cinereum, the corpora mammillaria, and the posterior perforated substance.

		Circle of Willis: An arterial circle at the base of the brain that is of critical importance.
		The circle of Willis receives all the blood that is pumped up the two internal carotid arteries that come up the front of the neck and that is pumped from the basilar artery formed by the union of the two vertebral arteries that come up the back of the neck.

		Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive occlusive disease of the cerebral vasculature with particular involvement of the circle of Willis and the arteries that feed it.
		The anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries that emanate from the circle of Willis may show varying degrees of stenosis or occlusion.
		This is associated with fibrocellular thickening of the intima, waving of the internal elastic lamina, and thinning of the media.
