It connects left and right anterior cerebral arteries
It connects the left and right anterior cerebral arteries.
I beileve (Looking in my Hole's anatomy & physiology text) that the anterior cerebral branches off the middle cerebral, which branches from the posterior communicating artery. Or it circles around to the anterior communicating artery. They all form the cerebral arterial circle.
It sounds normal to me. My posterior communicating artery is patent, and so I'm getting good blood flow to my brain. If someone were closing an aneurysm in my brain, I would like to think the arteries were patent (open) when the procedure was done.

A roughly circular anastomosisthat is located at the base of the brain and formed by the anterior communicating-artery, the two anterior cerebral, the two internal-carotid, the two posterior communicating, and the two posterior cerebral artery.From medical dictiionary
its called collateral circulation. what it means is that blood flow from an artery on one side can be shared to the opposite side(since most cerebral arteries are paired). blood from the anterior circulation can also be shared with the posterior circulation and vise versa.for example, if the left anterior cerebral artery is blocked, blood coming from the right cerebral artery can be shared to supply the area on the left via the anterior communicating artery.
