The thalamogeniculate artery is either a single artery or group of smaller arteries[1] arising from the posterior cerebral artery (distal to the origin of the posterior communicating artery).[2][1] It is part of the posterolateral central arteries.[2] It supplies parts of the thalamus (including the geniculate nuclei).[2][1]
Anatomy

According to the Medical Dictionary of the French Academy of Medicine, it supplies the ventral lateral nucleus of thalamus, and the geniculate nuclei.[1]
Clinical significance
