The article highlights the circle of Trolard, an anatomical structure resembling the circle of Willis, which encircles the midbrain and is of significant interest to neurosurgeons for its anatomical and clinical relevance. A thorough review of literature from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was conducted, focusing on terms related to the venous circle of Trolard. This review revealed a notable scarcity of research, with only six studies specifically addressing this structure. The findings underscore the anatomical details of the circle of Trolard and discuss its potential implications in neurosurgery. The limited research available is attributed to the difficulties of studying these structures in vivo. This overview aims to shed light on the circle of Trolard, encouraging further exploration of its role in neurological and neurosurgical conditions, highlighting the need for more in-depth studies to understand its clinical significance better.
