Özet

This study attempts to analyse the intra-operative anatomical findings of the recurrent artery of Heubner in 48 patients with Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm who were operated on at the Neurosurgical Department of Ataturk University Medical School, Erzurum, Turkiye. All patients underwent radical surgery for aneurysm by the right pterional approach. The findings were recorded during surgical intervention and through the dias and videotapes of the operations. The artery of Heubner originated from the junction of the A 1 and A 2 segments of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) in 58%, from the A 2 segment of ACA in 23%, and from the A 1 segment of ACA 4%. It was asymmetrically taking off in 13% and hypoplastic in 2% of the cases.
