[Arteries and veins of the lateral ventricle]

Abstract

Tumors of the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle (LV) are only supplied by the posteromedial choroidal artery. Tumors of the body of the LV are supplied by the same artery. Tumors of the atrium of the LV with anterior extension are supplied by both posteromedial choroidal and posterolateral arteries. Tumors of the atrium with inferior extension are supplied by both anterior choroidal artery and posterolateral choroidal arteries. Tumors of the inferior horn are only supplied by anterior choroidal artery. The tumoral venous drainage is organized with three main groups of veins: a medial group, a lateral group and a choroidal group.
