🧠 The Circle of Willis may be a foundational structure, but variations are the rule, not the exception. From hypoplasia to persistent fetal patterns, these anomalies shape collateral flow & stroke presentations Let’s dive into the ones you’ll encounter 👇 #NeuroXtorial

"Extended" CT angiography that includes cardiac and aortic imaging was shown in this RCT of 465 acute AIS/TIA patients to increase the yield of detecting a cardiac or aortic thrombus from 1.7% to 8.8%. Why not? The Lancet Neurology thelancet.com/journals/laneu…
