PurposeThe cingulate gyrus is a potential surgical area to treat tumours, psychiatric diseases, intractable pain and vascular malformations. The aim of the study was to define the topographic anatomy and arterial supply of the cingulate gyrus located on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere.MethodsWe studied thirty-six hemispheres, each hemisected in the midsagittal plane. The vertical thickness of the cingulate gyrus was measured at the anterior commissure (AC), posterior commissure (PC), and genu levels of the corpus callosum. The branches of the anterior and posterior cerebral arteries supplying each zone were noted separately. The arterial pathways were transformed to digital data in AutoCAD to identify the condensation and reduction areas.ResultsThe mean AC-PC distance was 27.17 +/- 1.63 mm. The thinnest region was the genu level of the corpus callosum (10.29 mm). The superior internal parietal artery (SIPA), inferior internal parietal artery (IIPA) and pericallosal artery (PrCA) supplied all zones of the cingulate gyrus. The anterior zone received the greatest supply. The arterial condensation and reduction areas on both sides of cingulate gyrus and its x, y, and z coordinates specified.ConclusionsThe target cingulotomy (TC) area was determined for anterior cingulotomy. The properties of the TC area are that the thinnest region of the cingulate gyrus is supplied relatively less than other areas and is close to the anterior cingulotomy areas in the literature. The arterial reduction area (ARA) was found to be suitable for corpus callosotomy in terms of avoiding haemorrhage.
