The cerebral arterial circle has the shape of a decagon; its vascular components are as follows: subparts of the cerebral parts (C4) of paired internal carotid arteries, precommunicating part (A1) of paired anterior cerebral arteries connected by network configuration of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA), and then the left posterior communicating artery (PCoA), which connects and divides ipsilateral PCA in the precommunicating (P1) and postcommunicating (P2) parts.
