Abstract:

Objective To study the anatomy of cerebral venous system in New Zealand white rabbits. Methods Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were studied using digital subtraction angiography, latex perfusion,catheterization of internal carotid techniques.A micro catheter was inserted via femoral artery to the proximal site of the internal carotid,which was followed by cerebral angiography.Latex was perfused into the superior vena cava. The findings concerning the anatomy and the variations of Willis’ circle were analyzed. Results The anatomy of cerebral venous system in New Zealand white rabbits was similar to human cerebral venous system. Conclusion The anatomy of cerebral venous system in New Zealand white rabbits is similar to human cerebral venous system, which is of great importance in guiding the preparation of cerebral venous and sinus model.
