The CT scan of a 73-year-old woman shows an infarcted area in the rostral portions of the dorsomedial nucleus, the anterior nucleus, and the ventral anterior nucleus. Which of the following arteries supply blood to this area of the brain?
- Thalamoperforating
- Anterior choroidal
- Lateral striate (lenticulostriate)
- Medial striate
- Thalamogeniculate
The thalamoperforating arteries serve the more rostral portions of the dorsal thalamus. These vessels may originate as a single trunk or as several vessels from the P1 segment of the posterior cerebral artery. (p. 154–158, 168–169)
