It has been suggested that this article be merged with Anteromedial central arteries, Anterolateral central arteries and Posteromedial central arteries to Central arteries. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2024. |
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). They are distributed to the cerebral peduncle, corpora quadrigemina (i.e. superior and Inferior colliculi), pineal gland, and (via the thalamogeniculate arteries) the posterior portion of the thalamus (including the medial geniculate nucleus).[2]
