title: [The role of the middle cerebral artery in the vascularization of the claustrum].
abstract: The claustrum is vascularized by 3 groups of arteries which come out of the middle cerebral artery. The first group of arteries reaches the claustrum through the limen of insula and vascularizes the anterior and ventral part of the claustrum, mostly. The second group of arteries reaches the claustrum through the cortex of insula, and vascularizes the dorsal part of the claustrum, mostly. The third group of arteries comes out of the lateral striated arteries and occasionally vascularizes the claustrum, only in the adult age. On the basis of our research, we think that the primary claustral arteries are the ones which reach the claustrum through the limen and cortex of insula and they take the lead in the vascularization of the claustrum. The arteries which come out of the lateral striated arteries, we consider as secondary claustral arteries, and their role in claustral vascularization is occasional and of small importance.
