During routine dissection in the laboratory was observed the presence of a variation of the superior cerebellar artery in a brain of a young adult male. This artery belongs to the vertebral-basilar system and is branch of the basilar artery, prior to its bifurcation giving rise to the posterior cerebral arteries. This variation is clinically important due to cerebellar infarctions that affect a significant portion of the population, and records of this type of variation become important especially for the few records that are found in literature.
