  • Title: [Basilar Artery, Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery, Superior Cerebellar Artery].
    Author: Matsubara S.
    Journal: No Shinkei Geka; 2024 May; 52(3):514-521. PubMed ID: 38783494.
    Abstract:
    The basilar artery(BA)is formed by the fusion of two longitudinal arteries, and incomplete development may lead to BA fenestration. The BA provides many short perforating arteries and long lateral pontine arteries to the brain stem. The anterior inferior cerebellar artery(AICA)usually branches from the proximal third of the BA and primarily perfuses the ventral, inferior and lateral aspect of the cerebellum and inner ear organ. However, there are many variations to the AICA that depend on the degree of posterior inferior cerebellar artery development. The superior cerebellar artery(SCA)branches into not only to the rostral, ventral aspect of the cerebellar hemisphere, but also to the deeper cerebellar nucleus and brain stem. Duplications within this vessel are frequently identified, but it is not missing.
