Arteria communicans caudalis

The caudal communicating artery is a paired artery located at the base of the brain and forms the caudolateral part of the cerebral arterial circle.

• Origin: Intracranial part of the internal carotid artery.

• Course / Relations: It courses caudally along the ventral surface of the brain as part of the cerebral arterial circle.

• Termination / Branches / Anastomoses: It connects the internal carotid artery with the basilar artery and gives rise to the caudal cerebral artery.

The caudal communicating artery is a paired component of the cerebral arterial circle. It extends caudally from the internal carotid artery toward the basilar artery, forming the caudolateral part of the circle and giving rise to the caudal cerebral artery.
