Welcome to NeuroTalk:

There aren't any neurologists here that I know of, who could
advise you in detail. This is mostly a patient centered support group.

I do know that the circle of Willis is a blood vessel that occurs at the base of the brain. Sometimes it is involved with strokes.

This wiki article has pictures and explains:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_Willis

Anything that would compress this arterial system, could therefore be problematic.
