The detailed anatomy of the anterior choroidal artery, the major afferent vessel of the choroid plexus, has been described in man, but similar studies have not been reported in the dog,2 the animal most commonly employed for the study of CSF circulation. The present study was undertaken to provide a description of the course and distribution of the anterior choroidal artery in the dog.
Materials and Methods
Normal brains from 50 adult mongrel dogs were examined. Both internal carotid arteries and the basilar artery were cannulated immediately after removal of the brain. A colored
