Cerebral Coenurosis is a disease of nervous system in goats. Though the cyst is primarily localized in the central nervous system of sheep and goats. Therefore, the aim of the work is to determine the topography of the skull of goats to locate the most suitable surgical approaches for conducting the trephining operation away from the sites rich in blood vessels in order to avoid fatal bleeding during surgery. For the arterial blood supply study, ten goat�s head were used for this study. 3 different techniques used for the arterial blood supply study. Four C. Coenurosis cases admitted to the veterinary clinics were subjected to computerized tomography for accurate diagnosis. The best sites for conducting the trephining operation were; site 1, 2 cm rostral to the base of the cornual process and site 2, 5 cm caudal to the lateral canthus of the eye. The examination of the affected brain allocated using CT scan. The arterial supply results obtained showed that the blood supply to the brain of goat is through the internal carotid, maxillary, occipital and a little contribution from the vertebral arteries. The maxillary and occipital arteries are shared in the formation of the rete mirabile cerebrale. The internal carotid artery formed the circle of Willis through the rostral communication of the rostral cerebral arteries of both sides and the caudal communication of the both caudal communicating arteries (left and right). In conclusion, two novel sites based on anatomical land marks with minimal bleeding areas were described.
