The cerebellar artery inferior posterior is one of the arteries of the brain, which provides blood supply to the cerebellum and its structures. It is a branch of the posterior cerebral artery and enters the cerebellum through the posterior inferior surface.
The inferior posterior cerebellar artery has several branches that provide blood supply to the cerebellar structure. One of the main branches is the cerebellar neurovascular bundle, which consists of the cerebellar inferior posterior artery, the cerebellar anterior spinal cord and the cerebellar anterior spinal artery.
Disruption of the blood supply to the cerebellar inferior posterior artery can lead to various diseases, including cerebellar ataxia, cerebellar stroke, vascular dementia, and others. To diagnose and treat diseases associated with the inferior posterior cerebellar artery, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and treatment.
The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (a.Cerebelli posterior inferior) is directly related to the human brain. It is one of the branches of the vertebral artery and is located in the cervical spine at the C2-C3 level. This artery is an asymmetric vessel and in healthy people it has left and right branches; in some people it may be absent on the left. It can be divided into two branches: internal and external: and also has branches - vertebral, anterior dorsal, posterior dorsal and lateral.
The inferior posterior cerebellar artery carries nutrients to the cerebellum. The location of both arteries is almost the same: transverse to the pons on both sides of the medulla oblongata. The longest in the structure of the inner ear is the external cerebral artery, connecting the carotid origin.
