It is named after [[Otto Heubner]], a German pediatrician who first described it in the late 19th century. The artery is the most proximal branch of the [[anterior cerebral artery]] and is responsible for supplying blood to the anterior portion of the [[putamen]] and the internal capsule&#039;s anterior limb.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The Recurrent artery of Heubner is named after [[Otto Heubner]], a German pediatrician who lived from 1843 to 1926. Heubner made significant contributions to pediatric medicine, including the description of this artery.<br /> <br /> ==Anatomy==<br /> The Recurrent artery of Heubner is the most proximal branch of the [[anterior cerebral artery]]. It is a small artery that arises from the anterior cerebral artery&#039;s initial segment (A1). It travels laterally, superiorly, and posteriorly around the [[anterior communicating artery]] to reach the anterior perforated substance. It supplies blood to the anterior portion of the [[putamen]] and the anterior limb of the internal capsule.<br /> <br /> ==Clinical significance==<br /> The occlusion of the Recurrent artery of Heubner, often due to a [[stroke]], can lead to specific neurological deficits. These include contralateral hemiparesis, sensory loss, and hemianopia. The artery&#039;s occlusion is also associated with cognitive and behavioral changes, including [[abulia]] and [[mutism]].<br /> <br /> ==Related terms==<br /> * [[Anterior cerebral artery]]<br /> * [[Putamen]]<br /> * [[Internal capsule]]<br /> * [[Stroke]]<br /> * [[Abulia]]<br /> * [[Mutism]]<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[List of arteries of the human body]]<br /> * [[Otto Heubner]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Arteries of the head and neck]]<br /> [[Category:Medical terminology]]<br /> {{stub}}</div>
