Anatomical terminology |
Posterolateral central arteries[1] (also posterolateral perforating arteries, or posterolateral ganglionic arteries) are arteries that arise from the posterior cerebral artery distal to its first - pre-communicating (P1) -segment (i.e. distal to the origin of the posterior communicating artery).[2]
They are distributed to the:
- (lateral part of[3]) cerebral peduncle[2][3]
- tectum[3]
- corpora quadrigemina (i.e. superior and inferior colliculi)[2]
- pineal gland[2]
- (via the thalamogeniculate arteries[2]) (the posterior parts of) thalamus[2][3]
