arteria cerebelosa superior 1 arteria cerebelosa anteroinferior 2 arteria cerebelosa posterior inferior 3 arteria cerebelosa inferior 4 Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) is one of the three vessels that provide arterial supply to the cerebellum. It is the most variable and tortuous cerebellar artery. 5 The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) is the largest branch of the vertebral artery. It is one of the three main arteries that supply blood to the cerebellum, a part of the brain. Blockage of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery can result in a type of stroke called lateral medullary syndrome. 6 Posterior inferior cerebellar artery 7 Territory of posterior inferior cerebellar artery 8 Posterior inferior cerebellar artery 9 Arteria cerebelosa inferior posterior 10 The posterior inferior cerebellar artery supplies the medulla oblongata, dorsal to the olivary nucleus and lateral to the hypoglossal nucleus. The artery also supplies the inferior surface of the cerebellum and sends a branch to supply the choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. 11
