The choroidal fissure is a narrow cleft in the medial part of the lateral ventricle, in a C-shaped arc, between the fornix and the thalamus, where the choroidal plexus join. Due to absence nervous tissue between ependyma and pia-mater along this invagination, it is an important route in brain ventricles and cisterns. Five brains were studied by injecting colored silicone arteries and veins and five brains without colored silicone, in a total number of 20 brain hemispheres. It was analyzed and revised the neural, arterial and venous relationships and surgical approaches in all parts of the choroidal fissure. In conclusion, the previous knowledge detailed this microanatomy is primordial for neurosurgeons that will approach brain ventricular and cisternal lesions because the neurosurgeons gain a tridimensional notion that will be indispensable during surgery.
Up until the 17th century, ideas surrounding the discovery of encephalic arteries were to remain largely influenced by the political and religious ideologies of the era. Parts of the encephalic arterial system have been called after several anatomists from this earlier period. From the 18th century onwards, scientists and doctors in particular, liberated themselves from the political and religious trends which had governed their work in previous centuries. Some progress was made by applying the clinico-anatomical method to neurology, but it was only at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century that discoveries about encephalic arteries had gained ground. During the same period, anatomists in several countries were producing detailed descriptions of this arterial system. Moreover, this period saw the advent of the first generation of vascular neurologists, one of whom, Charles Foix, is considered as the founder of the discipline.
