Summary
This report presents the arteries of the mesencephalo-diencephalic region and their different role in the supply to the cerebral structures. Among them, the authors distinguish the subependymal and transmesencephalic arteries to which they pay a special attention since these vessels present a specific angiographic aspect. The importance of their differentiation is emphasized. The authors discuss the management of subependymal and (trans)mesencephalic arteries during endovascular neuro-intervention illustrative cases.
Résumé
Ce travail présente les artères de la région mésencéphalodiencéphalique et leur rôle différent dans la vascularisation de ces structures cérébrales. Parmi elles les auteurs distinguent les artères sousépendymaires et trans-mésencéphaliques auxquelles ils portent une attention particulière puisque ces vaisseaux présentent un aspect angiographique spécifique. L'importance de leur différenciation est mise en évidence. Les auteurs discutent la prise en charge des artères sousépendymaires et (trans) mésencéphaliques au cours de cas illustrant un traitement neuroradiologique endovasculaire.
