Abstract
In this introductory chapter, vascularization of the brain and spinal cord is discussed with examples of the clinical syndromes of arterial or venous occlusions. The advent of neuroimaging has allowed a more precise clinicopathological correlation of ischaemic lesions and infarcts on computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For a more precise assessment of the vessels involved, knowledge of the arterial territories and their variations is needed. Atlas sections of the arterial territories of the human cerebral hemispheres, the cerebellum and the brain stem are presented in Sects. 2.5, 2.10 and 2.11, respectively.
