AB  - Objective. Basilar artery (BA) terminates in right and left posterior cerebral 
      arteries (PCAs). Each PCA supplies respective occipital lobe of the cerebrum. The 
      present study is designed to know the morphology, morphometry, branching pattern, 
      and symmetry of PCA. Methods. The study included 340 PCAs dissected from 170 
      human cadaveric brains. Results. Morphological variations of P1 segment included, 
      aplasia (2.35%), hypoplasia (5.29%), duplication (2.35%), fenestration (1.17%), 
      and common trunk shared with SCA (1.76%). Morphological variations of origin of 
      P2 segment included direct origin of it from BA (1.17%) and ICA (2.35%). 
      Unusually, two P2 segments, each arising separately from BA and ICA, were 
      observed in 1.17%. Unilateral two P2 segments from CW were found in 0.58%. 
      Morphological variations of course of P2 were duplication (0.58%), fenestration 
      (0.58%), and aneurysm (1.76%). Unilateral P2 either adult or fetal was seen in 
      4.71%. The group II branching pattern was found to be most common. Asymmetry of 
      P2 was 40%. Morphometry of P2 revealed mean length of 52 mm and mean diameter of 
      2.7 mm. Conclusion. The present study provides the complete anatomical 
      description of PCA regarding morphology, morphometry, symmetry, and its branching 
      pattern. Awareness of these variations is likely to be useful in cerebrovascular 
      procedures.
