Abstract:

The article provides a comprehensive overview of the Bernasconi—Cassinari’s artery (marginal tentorial branch of internal carotid artery, r. marginalis tentorii a. carotis internae). It includes information on the history of its discovery, anatomical features, and topography. The interrelation between the anatomical features of this artery and the presence of neurological pathology in patients is discussed, along with neurosurgical treatment methodologies.

Keywords:

Bernasconi—Cassinari’s artery
internal carotid artery
tentorium cerebelli
neurosurgery
neurosurgical pathology
