Vascular supply of Important Brain Structures


Thalamus Anterior (language-memory): anterior thalamoperforating a = polar a (PCOM)
Medial (arousal-memory): posterior thalamoperforators (P1 and tip of basilar)
Lateral (motor-sensory): thalamogeniculate (P2)
Posterior (visual): Post Choroidal
Internal Capsule Ant Limb: Medial striates (ACA) Lateral striates (MCA)
Genu: ICA branches Lateral striates (MCA)
Post Limb: Ant choroidal Lateral striates (MCA)
Caudate Medial portion: anterior choroidal
Lateral portion: recurrent artery of Hubner
Putamen Lateral striates (MCA)
Globus Pallidus Medial: anterior choroidal (ICA)
Lateral: Lateral striates (MCA)

Major blood vessels of the Brain


Internal carotid
4 segments: Ophthalmic (first branch) Retina
o Cervical
o Intrapetrosal
Anterior Choroidal Optic tract internal capsule (post limb) cerebral peduncle
o Intracavernous Globus pallidus LGB hippocampus and amygdala
o Supraclinoid Posterior Communicating Thalamic perforators to anterior thalamus.
