Medial striate artery
Medial Striate Artery
The Medial Striate Artery (also known as the Artery of Heubner) is a branch of the Anterior Cerebral Artery that supplies blood to the head of the Caudate Nucleus and the anterior limb of the Internal Capsule.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The Medial Striate Artery arises from the A1 segment of the Anterior Cerebral Artery, just after it has given off the Ophthalmic Artery. It courses medially and penetrates the anterior perforated substance to reach the structures it supplies.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Occlusion of the Medial Striate Artery can lead to Heubner's Artery Stroke Syndrome, characterized by contralateral hemiparesis, hemisensory loss, and hemianopia.
