BACKGROUND: Only a few articles have been published about the lateral posterior choroidal artery (LPChA), and yet none of them contains data regarding the thalamic branches.
METHODS: The LPChA and its twigs of the 26 cerebral hemispheres were injected with a mixture of a 10% Indian ink and gelatin. Following fixation in a 10% formaldehyde solution, the vessels were micro dissected under the stereoscopic microscope. In addition, serial cerebral angiograms of the 168 patients were examined.
RESULTS: The LPChA, which was commonly singular or double and averaged 0.68 mm in diameter, most often originated from the P2 and P3 segments (76%) of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA). It always gave off the choroidal, pulvinar and typical thalamic branches, occasionally the parahippocampal (4%), hippocampal (8%), peduncular (8%), tegmental (12%), pretectal (4%), lateral geniculate (40%) and medial geniculate twigs (16%), and the forniceal, subependymal (100%), stria terminalis (32%), and caudate twigs (28%). The pulvinar and thalamic branches averaged almost 4 in number and 0.27 mm in diameter. They most often supplied the pulvinar nuclei, and occasionally portions of the mediodorsal, lateral dorsal, lateral posterior, ventral lateral, and the ventral posterior thalamic nuclei. Among the 168 serial cerebral angiograms, one presented the arteriovenous malformation of the LPChA, but no one showed an aneurysm.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first description of the LPChA thalamic branches to date. Their microanatomic features are important for understanding the neurologic symptoms following vessels occlusion, for precise radiologic diagnoses, and for safe neurosurgical and endovascular interventions.
