Basically means that the basilar artery (supplying blood to the brain) is widely open. So it could mean that its normal (arteries should be open!) or referring to the artery being dilated (an aneurysm). Though if this is something you've heard your doctor say referring to yourself I would recommend you just ask them what they meant :)
