Superior cerebellar artery

The superior cerebellar artery (Latin for " upper cerebellar artery ."; Clinic in the jargon as SCA, superior cerebellar artery after engl ) is a paired arterial blood vessel and one of the vessels supplying the brain. It usually arises as the last strong lateral branch of the basilar artery. Under the oculomotor nerve, which it separates from the posterior cerebral artery, it moves to the cerebrum leg ( cerebral peduncle ) around to the back to the upper surface of the cerebellum. At its supply area counts a large part of the cerebellar cortex and the upper portion of the cerebellar vermis, smaller side branches supply the upper bridge.
