Educational content only — not medical advice.
Anatomy
The M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery coursing deep within the sylvian fissure across the surface of the insula, bifurcating into superior and inferior trunks.
Clinical notes
Target for modern endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in distal large vessel occlusion (LVO); revascularization saves critical cortical language and motor centers.
