anterior choroidal artery

It is one of the deficits produced by anterior choroidal artery syndrome.

The origin of the anterior choroidal artery.

The full extent of the damage caused by occlusion of the anterior choroidal artery is not known.

On lateral angiograms, the plexal point is seen to be 18-26 mm from the origin of the anterior choroidal artery.

The anterior choroidal artery is in the brain, off of the internal carotid in the "circle of Willis".

The anterior choroidal artery serves structures in the telencephalon, diencephalon, and mesencephalon:

Anterior choroidal artery (arteria choroidea anterior)

The inferior half of the posterior limb is supplied by the anterior choroidal artery, which is a branch of the internal carotid artery.

The plexal point is the point at which the anterior choroidal artery enters into the lateral ventricle of the brain at the choroidal fissure.

The anterior choroidal artery originates from the internal carotid artery, though it also rarely arises from the middle cerebral artery.

In addition, "Monakow's syndrome" bears his name, defined as contralateral hemiplegia, hemi anaesthesia and homonomous hemianopsia due to occlusion of the anterior choroidal artery.

Posterior limb: lenticulostriate branches of middle cerebral artery (superior half) & anterior choroidal artery off of the internal carotid artery (inferior half)

Charles Edward Beevor (12 June 1854 - 5 December 1908) was an English neurologist and anatomist who described Beevor's sign, the Jaw jerk reflex, and the area of the brain supplied by the anterior choroidal artery.
