Abstract

The artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger is an underreported yet important branch of the superior cerebellar artery. This artery feeds the adjacent tentorium and becomes enlarged and elongated in cases of vascular tumours and malformations of the tentorium. The present report is the first anatomical depiction of this artery in the literature.
