The Circle of Willis is a circle of arteries that provides main blood supply to the brain and the surrounding structures.
It is important as prevents ischemia(shortage of blood to tissues) thus preserving cerebral perfusion when one or more artery in the brain is blocked due to throbosis or embolism.

What is the ring-shaped anastomosis that forms the cerebral arterial circle?
The ring-shaped anastomosis that forms the cerebral arterial circle is called the Circle of Willis. It is located at the base of the brain and helps to provide collateral circulation in case of blockages in the cerebral arteries.
Cysts inthe circle of willis what are the treatments and prognosious?
Treatment options for cysts in the Circle of Willis depend on the size and symptoms of the cyst. Small or asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, whereas larger or symptomatic cysts may need surgical removal or medication to manage symptoms.

Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is essential to assess any changes in the cyst and symptoms.
What is the condition where you have no circle of willis?
Agenesis of the circle of Willis is a rare congenital condition where there is incomplete or absent development of the circle of arteries at the base of the brain. This can lead to altered blood flow patterns in the brain and increase the risk of stroke or other neurological complications. Treatment may involve managing risk factors for stroke and monitoring for any symptoms or complications.
