Trigeminal artery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the nerve, see Trigeminal nerve.
The trigeminal artery is an artery that supplies the basilar artery with blood during human embryonic development.[1] Normally, the trigeminal artery involutes after the formation of the posterior communicating artery.[2] However, in some cases, the artery persists into adulthood and can cause medical complications, including intracranial aneurysms.[3]
