Aneurysm of the Posterior cerebral artery leading to oculomotor nerve lesion

The posterior cerebral artery is a terminal branch of the basilar artery. It mainly supplies the occipital lobe, the inferomedial surface of the temporal lobe, midbrain, thalamus and choroid plexus of the third and lateral ventricles. The posterior cerebral artery takes part in the formation of the cerebral arterial circle (of Willis), which provides most of the arterial blood supply to the brain. Within the circle of Willis, the posterior cerebral artery anastomoses laterally on each side with the posterior communicating artery, thereby establishing a connection between the vertebrobasilar and the internal carotid artery systems. This article will discuss the anatomy and function of the posterior cerebral artery. #posteriorcerebralartery
