Background: The precentral gyrus (PG) is the primary motor area and is one of the most eloquent brain regions of neurosurgical interest. Although the arterial supply to the PG is generally known, contributions from different arterial branches such as the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), posterior cerebral artery (PCA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA) have not been comprehensively studied. The aim of the present study was to provide detailed information about the arteries of the PG.
