Several branches are given to the pineal body, the anterior medullary velum, and the tela chorioidea of the third ventricle. FunctionThe artery supplies:
Clinical significanceThe SCA is frequently the cause of trigeminal neuralgia, where it compresses the trigeminal nerve causing lancinating pain in the distribution of this nerve on the patient's face. However, at autopsy, 50% of people without trigeminal neuralgia will also be noted to have vascular compression of the nerve.[2] See also{{Anatomy-terms}}
