Branches of posterior cerebral artery vascularising visual cortex in man
Folia Morphol 1998;57(4):341-348.
Abstract
In 180 brains it was found that the calcarine artery was the main branch supplying the medial surface of the occipital lobe. Also the accessory calcarine artery contributed to vascularization of the occipital lobe. This artery originated from the medial occipital, lateral occipital, parietooccipital, and occipitotemporal arteries.
Keywords: Visual cortex vascularization. Posterior cerebral artery.
