Microsurgical anatomy of the cisternal anterior choroidal artery with special emphasis on the preoptic and postoptic subdivisions

Abstract: Object The object of this study was to delineate the microsurgical anatomy of the cisternal segment of the anterior choroidal artery (AChA). The authors also propose a new classification of this segment on the basis of its complicated course within the carotid and crural cisterns in relation to important neurovascular structures, and the site of origin, course, and areas of supply of perforating arteries. Methods Thirty cadaveric cerebral hemispheres injected with colored latex were dissected under surgical m… Show more

“…The beginning of the AChA is often a single trunk, and its end branch (anterior perforating artery) the posterior limb of the internal capsule lacks collateral circulation. 1,[7][8][9][10][11] When the terminal segment is occluded, infarction in the supplying territory can occur, clinically characterized by AChA syndrome (►Fig. 4).…”

“…The capsulothalamic artery is known to be the largest perforating branch of the AChoA, and usually originates from the cisternal segment of the AChoA. 4,8 Although some reports have described this artery as potentially arising from the proximal plexal segment of the AChoA, 3,5 none have referred to a capsulothalamic artery originating from the LPB.…”
