Q

Where is the deficit likely to be experienced in an anterior cerebral artery occlusion?

A

Lower limb since lower limbs are represented medially on the homunculus

And the anterior cerebral artery supplies the midline of the brain

Q

What forms the basilar artery?

A

Confluence of the vertebral arteries

17
Q

What is formed from the bifurcation of the basilar artery?

A

Posterior Cerebral Artery

18
Q

What does the posterior cerebral artery supply?

A

Occipital lobe
Inferior temporal lobe
Thalamus
MIDBRAIN en passant

19
Q

What connects the posterior cerebral artery to the middle cerebral artery?

A

Posterior communicating artery

20
Q

What does the superior Cerebellar artery supply?

A

Superior aspect of cerebellum and midbrain en passant

21
Q

What do the pontine arteries supply?

A

Pons including ht descending corticospinal fibres

22
Q

What does the anterior inferior Cerebellar artery supply?

A

Anteroinferior aspect of the cerebellum and lateral pons en passant

23
Q

How does the posterior cerebral artery run?

A

Loops around the midbrain running along the inferior surface of posterior hemisphere

24
Q

What are the 2 main arteries supplying the midbrain?

A

Posterior cerebral artery
Superior Cerebellar artery

25
Q

What disease can be caused by the pontine arteries being occluded and why?

A

Locked in syndrome

Corticospinal tract supplied by the pontine arteries

Eye moment is sparred since midbrain blood supply is fine

26
Q

What are the 2 main branches of the vertebral arteries that supply the brain?

A

Anterior spinal arteries

Posterior inferior Cerebellar arteries

27
Q

What does the posterior inferior Cerebellar arteries supply?

A

Postero-inferior aspect of the cerebellum en passant

28
Q

What part of the spinal cord does the anterior spinal artery supply?

A

Anterior 2/3s of spinal cord

Grey matter of ventral horns, cortical spinal tract and spinothalamic tract

29
Q

What part of the spinal cord does the posterior spinal artery supply?

A

Dorsal column and most of teh dorsal horns

30
Q

What artery do the thalmoperforator and thalmogeniculate arteries come from to supply the thalamus?

A

Posterior Cerebral Artery
