Sep 29, 2024 · The posterior cerebral artery curls around the cerebral peduncle to provide supply to the tegmentum and majority of the midbrain (excluding the crus cerebri). Branches of PCOM, P1 and P2 supply the thalamus.

Apr 15, 2023 · Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) infarcts arise, as the name says, from occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery. It is a type of posterior circulation infarction.

Jun 20, 2024 · A fetal (origin of the) posterior cerebral artery (fetal PCA), sometimes also referred to less accurately as fetal (origin of the) posterior communicating artery (fetal PCom), is a common variant in the posterior cerebral circulation.

Illustration shows various segments of the posterior cerebral artery along with the CSF cisterns and landmarks related to each segment.

Nov 13, 2024 · The brainstem is supplied by the vertebrobasilar circulation and their branches, small branches of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA), and the anterior spinal artery. Midbrain. Small penetrating branches from: basilar artery. superior cerebellar artery. posterior cerebral artery. Pons. medial branches of the superior cerebellar artery

The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) arises directly from internal carotid artery (ICA) on right side. The right P1 segment is hypoplastic.

Jan 8, 2023 · The posterior circulation is supplied by the vertebral arteries that combine to form the basilar artery which then divides into the posterior cerebral arteries. From these main vessels, many smaller vessels supply the posterior structures of the brain, including: posterior inferior cerebellar artery. anterior inferior cerebellar artery. pontine ...

Posterior cerebral artery aneurysms are rare. they represent about 1% of intracranial aneurysms 1.

Mar 20, 2024 · Intracranial arterial fenestration refers to segmental duplication of the intracranial arteries. They may be contrasted to arterial duplication, which consists of two distinct vessels with separate origins and no downstream convergence. They are rare anomalies, felt to result from incomplete fusion of primitive embryologic vessels.

Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) fenestration is rare but important to recognize, particularly for neurovascular procedures such as endovascular treatment of PCA and specifically P1 aneurysms.
