Abstract

Seeking to know more about wild species of the genus Sus, was studied the behavior of arteries at the base of the brain of wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) and changes in the vascular arrangement of the brain responsible for irrigation. This study involved 22 specimens came from a farm in Romaria-MG, and through the aorta was performed a wash of the vascular system with normal saline, and then was injected solution of Neoprene Latex "450" stained with specific pigment, thereafter were fixed in formaldehyde solution to 10% for at least 96 hours, then the brains were dissected and analyzed. With this research could be concluded that the arteries of the base of the brain are dependent on the carotid artery in both sides and the basilar artery and its branches; the rostral epidural network originates from the carotid artery, the middle meningeal artery and the external ophthalmic artery; the carotid artery shows a rostral and a caudal branch; there is no pattern to the arteries at the base of the brain of this animal, only tends to follow the pattern type 2 alpha of De Vries (1905).
