Rete anomaly of the middle cerebral artery: case series of 13 patients from the Northeastern United States
Rete MCA anomaly occurs in non-Asian populations, and is likely benign relative to MMD. The diagnosis should be considered with unilateral, non-progressive findings, and absent MMD-type collaterals. Neurosurgical bypass appears safe, but studies are required to assess the natural history and stroke risk in this condition.
