Medial lenticulostriate arteries
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The medial lenticulostriate arteries arise from the proximal middle cerebral artery and supply the globus pallidus and medial portion of the putamen.
They are shorter, thinner and fewer in number than the lateral lenticulostriate arteries, which arise more distally along the M1 segment.
NB : They should not be confused with the perforating branches from the A1/A2 segments of the anterior cerebral artery, the largest branch being the recurrent artery of Heubner.
