With this, radiologists can help speed along the diagnosis and treatment pathway and optimise the patient's prognosis. Thus, in addition to a review of the anatomy of the MCA with its possible anatomical variants and abnormalities, we present a radiological tool based on correlating perfusion and computed tomography (CT) angiography to facilitate determination of the location of obstruction in the affected branch in the diagnosis of a cerebral ischaemic event.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0030">MCA: segments</span><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Classic anatomical terminology establishes two MCA segments (M1 and M2) delimited by the bifurcation of the main trunk.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> In practice, however, for the surgical and radiological approach, four segments are distinguished (M1, M2, M3 and M4), described in the early 1980s by Gibo et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> and determined by the spatial distribution of the main trunk and successive branches (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>):<ul class="elsevierStyleList" id="lis0005"><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="lsti0005"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">•</span><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">M1: horizontal or sphenoidal segment.

These branches run superiorly through the anterior perforated substance to supply blood to the basal ganglia and deep structures of the brain. They are divided into a medial group and a lateral group, depending on whether they form before or after the division of the main trunk of the MCA.

The number of these branches also varies, and their pattern of emergence from the MCA is variable too, giving rise to wide anatomical variation. It is normal to have 10–12 cortical branches.

It is also the one that is most often involved in ischemic cerebrovascular disease, which accounts for a significant volume of brain imaging tests. With recent updates in the management of ischemic stroke (including intravascular treatment in increasingly distal vessels and in an increasingly widening spectrum of patients), it is becoming more important to know the details of the cerebral vascular anatomy to reach accurate diagnoses quickly and thereby improve patients’ prognoses. For these reasons, we present this anatomic review of the MCA, reviewing its segments and anatomic limits, its branching patterns, and its anatomic variants. We also provide a radiologic tool based on correlations between CT angiography and perfusion CT to facilitate the identification of the points of occlusion within the branches of the MCA, taking into account its different variants.</p></span>" ] "es" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Resumen" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0060" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">La arteria cerebral media es uno de los principales vasos intracraneales y el más implicado en la patología cerebrovascular isquémica, la cual constituye un importante volumen de nuestras exploraciones.
