Brain MRA - stumped

Posted: May 20, 2011

There is a _______ supply of the right posterior cerebral artery and a tiny retention cyst is noted within in the left maxillary sinus.

Blank s/l fetal or feeble. Any ideas?

feeble - mt

1. a. Lacking strength; weak. b. Indicating weakness. 2. Lacking vigor, force, or effectiveness; inadequate.

it's not feeble, it is fetal and they are not talking embryos here. - radmt40 no/message

I think that fetal is correct -

Fetal origin of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is not uncommon. Whether patients with this anomaly have a higher risk of ischemic stroke in the territory of the PCA is not known. The clinical benefit of screening for a fetal origin in patients with TIA or stroke in the territory of the PCA and an ipsilateral atherosclerotic carotid stenosis is not clear. This study assessed the frequency of a fetal origin of the PCA in patients with a TIA or infarct in the territory of the PCA with 16-multidetector-row CT angiography (CTA).

I just googled fetal origin of vessel -

and that is one of the things that came up

you should probably research that, talking about the blood supply here as in - brisk, slow, etc

Pull up the document and read what it says before making this assumption on this question here.

Fetal origin is a normal variant of the PCA - sm
