German term or phrase: fetale Versorgunsvariante
A patient has been admitted after suffering a stroke and undergoes an angiograpny.

"Es zeigt sich eine fetale Versorgungsvariante (Versorgung der Aa cerebri posteriores úber die Aa cerebris mediae)."

What is "fetal" here, and what is the meaning of "Versorgung" in this context? The patient is male, so I assume that "fetal" here has nothing to do with a foetus.

Als fetale Arteria cerebri posterior (fPCA), oder auch als fetale PCA bezeichnet man eine anatomische Variante des Abgangs der Arteria cerebri posterior, welche bei 10-46% in den Menschen auftritt1. Hierbei wird die Hauptperfusion der Arteria cerebri posterior durch die Arteria carotis interna und nicht durch das Vertebralisstromgebiet gewährleistet. Man unterscheidet zwischen einer vollständigen fetalen PCA und einer partiellen fetalen PCA2. Bei der vollständig fetalen PCA entspringt die PCA direkt aus der ICA ohne Verbindung zur Arteria basilaris. Bei der partiellen fetalen PCA besteht weiterhin eine Verbindung zur Arteria basilaris. Patienten mit einer fetalen PCA können sich bei einer Durchblutungsstörung der Arteria carotis interna, wie bei einer PCA Ischämie symptomatisch zeigen.

I should add that the term 'fetal' originally relates to the development of the human brain and has nothing to do with pregnancy in this case. Here's what Wiki has to say on the matter:

The development of the PCA in fetal brain comes relatively late and arises from the fusion of several embryonic vessels near the caudal end of the PCommA supplying the mesencephalon and diencephalon of the fetus.[2] The PCA begins as such, as a continuation of the PCommA in the fetus with only 10–30% of fetuses having a prominent basilar origin.[3]

The fetal carotid origin of the PCA usually regresses as the vertebral and basilar arteries develop with the PCommA reducing is size. In most adults, the PCA sources from the anterior portion of the basilar artery. Only about 19% of adults retain PCommA dominance of the PCA with 72% having dominant basilar origin, and the rest having either equal prominence between PCommA and basilar artery, or a single exclusive source.[3]

Personally I would suggest translating this sentence roughly as follows without repeating the term 'supply':

The images reveal a fetal-type variant of the posterior cerebral artery where the posterior cerebral artery sources from ((is supplied via)) the middle cerebral artery.

And, to answer your question, "Versorgung" pertains to the blood flow and how it is routed.

supply variant - fetal posterior cerebral artery


Explanation:
Hi Clive - I think it is talking about a variant of the posterior cerebral artery, called the fetal posterior cerebral artery.

https://radiopaedia.org/articles/fetal-posterior-cerebral-ar...

I think the Versorgungsvariante bit is suggesting a supply variant (which would tie in with it being a variant of an artery).

I'm not sure of a specific term to match those two given in English though.

Explanation:
Ven man den ganzen Satz übersetzt hat man dieses:
"A fetal supply variant (supply of the posterior cerebral arteries via the media cerebral arteries) is evident."
