The anterior choroidal artery (AChA) is a critical artery in brain physiology and function. The AChA is involved in many diseases, including aneurysm, brain infarct, Moyamoya disease (MMD), brain tumor, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), etc. The AChA is vulnerable to damage during the treatment of these diseases and is thus a very important vessel. However, a comprehensive systematic review of the importance of the AChA is currently lacking. In this study, we used the PUBMED database to perform a literature review of the AChA to increase our understanding of its role in neurophysiology. Although the AChA is a small thin artery, it supplies an extremely important region of the brain. The AChA consists of cisternal and plexal segments, and the point of entry into the choroidal plexus is known as the plexal point. During treatment for aneurysms, tumors, AVM or AVF, the AChA cisternal segments should be preserved as a pathway to prevent the infarction of the AChA target region in the brain. In MMD, a dilated AChA provides collateral flow for posterior circulation. In brain infarcts, rapid treatment is necessary to prevent brain damage. In Parkinson disease (PD), the role of the AChA is unclear. In trauma, the AChA can tear and result in intracranial hematoma. In addition, both chronic and non-chronic branch vessel occlusions in the AChA are clinically silent and should not deter aneurysm treatment with flow diversion. Based on the data available, the AChA is a highly essential vessel.

“…Mosberg and Lindenberg4) demonstrated a traumatic tear of a pallidal branch of anterior choroidal artery as the origin of pallidal hematoma in an autopsy case. Head injuries including traffic accidents associated with acceleration and deceleration forces with rotational movement traumatic dissection of perforating arteries, mainly the anterior choroidal artery or lenticulostriate artery, can cause basal ganglia hemorrhage 61012). Still, the exact explanation for bilateral TBGH is elusive in the literature.…”

Traumatic basal ganglia hemorrhage (TBGH) is a rare presentation of head injuries. Bilateral lesions are extremely rare. The pathophysiologic mechanism of bilateral TBGH seems to be the same as diffuse axonal injury. However, limited information about childhood bilateral TBGH is available in the literature. We report the case of a child with bilateral TBGH treated with stereotactic aspiration of hemorrhage and periodic urokinase irrigation.

Current status of infarction in the basal ganglia‑internal capsule due to mild head injury in children using PRISMA guidelines (Review)

Post-traumatic basal ganglia-internal capsule (BGIC) infarction in pediatric patients is a relatively rare consequence of mild head injury (MHI). To the best of the authors' knowledge, at present, no comprehensive review has been published. To review research on BGIC infarction after MHI, a literature search was performed using the PubMed database and relevant search terms. According to recent data, MHI may cause BGIC infarction due to mechanical vasospasm of the perforating vessels in pediatric patients. The anatomical characteristics of the growing brain in infancy, mineralization of the lenticulostriate arteries and viral infection may all play a part in BGIC infarction after MHI, which often occurs within 24 months. Symptoms are not as severe and tend to disappear in the early period. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging often shows BGIC infarction. There are also children with scattered calcification of the basal ganglia. Neural rehabilitation is a commonly accepted treatment. The prognosis of patients with BGIC infarction after MHI consistently improves.
