Eloquent reperfusion-primary motor cortex (ER-PMC) grading

ER-PMC gradeDefinition
Absent (0)No visible antegrade perfusion in any of the distal PMC cortical branches*
Partial (1)Antegrade perfusion in one or more, but not all, distal PMC cortical branches*
Complete (2)Complete antegrade flow in all PMC cortical branches*
  • *PMC middle cerebral artery (MCA) branches: (1) precentral, (2) central (aka Rolandic), (3) postcentral (aka anterior parietal). PMC anterior cerebral artery (ACA) branch: (4) medial frontal branch arising from callosomarginal or pericallosal arteries.
