Educational content only — not medical advice.
Anatomy
An arterial branch arising from the superior cerebellar artery (SCA) that courses along the superior cerebellar vermis supplying the cortex of the culmen, declive, and folium. It coordinates cerebellar motor integration and balance control.
Clinical notes
Neurovascular conflict between the superior cerebellar artery and the root entry zone of the trigeminal nerve (CN V) causes trigeminal neuralgia, cured by microvascular decompression (Jannetta procedure).
