Abstract

We present 9 diagrams illustrating the vascular territories in the posterior fossa and in the supratentorial compartment of the head in transverse sections and briefly discuss variations and peculiarities of territories and within territories.

Sommario

Vengono presentate nove tavole illustranti schematicamente in sezioni trasversali i territori vascolari della fossa posteriore e delle regioni sopratentoriali. Variazioni e peculiarità dei territori e nei territori stessi sono brevemente discusse.
