Anterior Cerebral Artery
Supplies most medial portions of frontal lobes and superior medial parietal lobes (lower extremity motor/sensory) - runs over corpus collosum
Anterior Communicating Artery
Connects the anterior cerebral arteries at their closest juncture
Internal Carotid Artery
Ascends through base of skull to give rise to the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, and connect with posterior half of circle of Willis via posterior communicating artery
Middle Cerebral Artery
Trifurcates into temporal, frontal, and parietal branches that supply most of the parenchyma of these lobes (lateral surface of the brain) - runs in Sylvian fissure after branching off carotid T junction
Posterior Communicating Artery
Connects the anterior circle of Willis with the posterior cerebral artery of vertebral-basilar circulation posteriorly
Posterior Cerebral Artery
Supplies the occipital lobe and the inferior portion of temporal lobe. A branch supplies the choroid plexus.
Superior Cerebellar Artery
Supplies the dorsal cerebellum, pons, and midbrain
Basilar Artery
Formed by the junction of the two vertebral arteries, it terminates as a bifurcation into the posterior cerebral arteries; supplies media medulla and pons
Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery
Supplies the inferior cerebellum, lateral pons, and part of the medulla
Vertebral Artery
Emerge from the posterior base of skull and merge to form the basilar artery
Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery
Supplies the inferior-posterior cerebellum, cerebellar peduncles, choroid plexus in 4th ventricle, and lateral medulla
Anterior Spinal Artery
Descends along the anterior (ventral) aspect of the spinal cord; branches off of vertebrals
Lenticulostriate arteries
small penetrating arteries off the MCA that supply putamen, globus pallidus, and part of the internal capsule
thalamoperforators
small arteries that branch off tip of basilar and beginning of PCA, enter brain via interpeduncular fossa and supply thalamus/subthalamus
septal vein
runs in anterior septum pellucidum, primary drainage from forebrain, stop of foramen of Monro to join with thalamostriate vein to become internal cerebral veins
internal cerebral veins
pair of veins formed from septa veins and thalamostriate veins, as well as drainage from choroid plexus; run along roof of third ventricle
great vein of Galen
forms under corpus collosum splenium as one central vein, main drainage for all the veins that serve the internal aspects of the cerebrum
inferior sagittal sinus
runs at bottom of falx cerebri, joins with great vein of Galen to become straight sinus
ACA syndrome
contralateral leg weakness and sensory loss
MCA syndrome
contralateral face and arm > leg weakness and sensory loss, field cut, aphasia, neglect
PCA syndrome
contralateral field cut
lacunar syndrome
contralateral motor or sensory deficit without cortical signs
basilar artery syndrome
oculomotor deficits and/or ataxia with crossed sensory/motor deficits
verterbral artery syndrome
lower cranial nerve deficits and/or ataxia with crossed sensory/motor deficits
