Corpus: Lateral occipital artery

The lateral occipital artery is the lateral end branch of the posterior cerebral artery (ACP).

The division point of the posterior cerebral artery into its two terminal branches, the medial occipital artery and the lateral occipital artery, is usually located at the most lateral point of the pedunculi cerebri. The lateral occipital artery runs via the parahippocampal gyrus to the posterior part of the temporal lobe. It supplies the caudal surfaces of the occipital lobe and the posterior temporal lobe.
