Summary

The anatomical features of a left persistent trigeminal artery, found incidentally at autopsy, are reported. In spite of the close relationship to the Gasserian ganglion and to the cavernous sinus no mutual effect upon of from these structures can be shown. However, penetration of the anastomosis through the clivus under the left posterior clinoid process of the sella caused a conspicuous atrophy of that process.

Résumé

Les données autopsiques d'un cas d'artère trigéminée gauche sont rapportées. Malgré les relations intimes de l'artère avec le ganglion de Gasser et le sinus caverneux on n'a pas noté de modification de ces structures mains on observe une atrophie de l'apophyse clinoïde postérieure gauche due à la proximité de l'artère.

Zusammenfassung

Die pathologisch-anatomischen Verhältnisse bei einer linksseitigen persistierenden arteria trigemina primitiva werden dargestellt. Trotz enger Beziehung des Gefäßes zum Ganglion Gasseri oder zum Sinus cavernosus zeigten sich keine gegenseitig bedingten Veränderungen. Hingegen verursachte die Anastomose, welche den Clivus unterhalb des linken proc. clinoidens post. durchstößt, eine deutliche Atrophie des letzteren.
