title: [Arterial vascularization of the retrochiasmatic optic tract in man: recent data].
abstract: The authors study the arterial vascularisation of the retro chiasmatic optic tracts in man by means of total or selective arterial injections on 200 brain specimens. They underline the important vascularisation of the optic tracts, the lateral geniculate body and the first part of the optic radiations contrasting with the precarious vascularization of the latero-ventricular part of the optic radiations. The importance of the Sylvian contribution is noted at the origin of the optic radiations and on the occipital cortex level.
