A member asked:
Hello, i had a ct scan of my head and neck..i understand everything below except "the posterior indicating arteries are hypoplastic". ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT Head/neck: Probably is the "Posterior Communicating arteries" and the transcriptionist typed in Indicating, as I am not familiar with "indicating arteries." The posterior Communicating arteries are in the back of the base of the brain/skull and Hypoplastic is underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue or organ. This could be a congenital issue,...check with your Doctor to be safe for correlation.
