This makes laboratory training an invaluable aspect of the training. However, many residents have little exposure to this training due to lack of good training models. Objective: To introduce an easily replicable anatomically accurate brain model with major blood vessels and pulsatile blood flow. Materials and Methods: The brain model is made using a 3D printed resin mold. The mold is filled with silicone and mixed with pigment additives to replicate the color and consistency of brain tissue. Dura is made from quick drying silicone paste with grey dye. The blood vessels are made from a silicone 3D printed mold of an MRA. Liquid with Paprika oleoresin (e160c) dye is used to simulate blood and is pumped through the vessels to simulate pulsatile motion. Results: The model was used by 8 residents and 2 neurosurgeons. They unanimously noted that the model offered a more realistic 3D environment compared to the regular silicone and chicken wing models. Conclusion: This model offers a near realistic simulation to real surgery in anatomy, texture and pulsatile blood flow. The model is easily replicable as it utilizes readily available silicone materials. Application will range from preoperative case simulation and training in vascular anastomosis and bypass surgery to aneurysm management.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>3D Model in Neurosurgery,Bypass,Neurosurgery Training</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://jmedicalcasereports.org/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=9596&title=Three-dimensional Cerebrovascular Bypass Training.
