Abstract

Carotid rete mirabile is an arterial meshwork, occurring at the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Rete mirabile in humans is not present during normal development of the intracranial circulation and hence is considered as a collateral pathway that develops as a consequence of segmental agenesis of the ICA. We report three cases of this rare entity encountered at our institute.
