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).[2]
