"Direct basilar/vertebral arterial branches "
"the subcallosal artery (50% of patients) is essentially a large version of a hypothalamic branch, which in addition to supplying part of the hypothalamus also supplies the medial portions of the rostrum and genu."
"the median callosal artery (30% of patients) can be thought of as a more extended version of the subcallosal artery, in that it travels along the same course, supplies the same structures but additionally reaches the body of the corpus callosum."
"the posterior pericallosal artery (also known as splenial artery) supplies a variable portion of the splenium. Its origin is inconstant, arising from P3 or branches thereof."
"NOTE: occasionally a small vertebral artery will terminate into a common PICA/AICA trunk."
"Posterior cerebral artery "
"NOTE: occasionally a small vertebral artery will terminate into a common PICA/AICA trunk."
"Anterior choroidal artery (AChA)"
"The amount of tissue supplied by the AICA is variable (PICA-AICA dominance) but usually includes:"
"NOTE: occasionally a small vertebral artery will terminate into a common PICA/AICA trunk."
