Segments of
Internal carotid
artery
SUBMITTED BY:
ANDREA TITUS
 The Internal carotid artery is a terminal branch of the common
carotid artery.
 Origin
It arises most frequently between C3 and C5 vertebral level,
where the common carotid bifurcates to form the internal carotid
and the external carotid artery (ECA).
 It has no branches outside the skulls and passes straight up in the
carotid sheath, beside the pharynx to the carotid canal in the base
of the skull.
 Segments Of Internal Carotid Artery
 There are seven segments in the Bouthillier classification: Their
classification system is used clinically by neurosurgeons,
neuroradiologists and neurologists and relies on the angiographic
appearance of the vessel and histological comparison rather than on the
embryonic development.
 cervical segment (C1)
 petrous (horizontal) segment (C2)
 lacerum segment (C3)
 cavernous segment (C4)
 clinoid segment (C5)
 ophthalmic (supraclinoid) segment (C6)
 communicating (terminal) segment (C7)
 Branches
 Except for the terminal segment (C7) the odd numbered segments
usually have no branches, whereas the even numbered segments
(C2, C4, C6) each have branches.
•C1: cervical segment
•Extends from the bifurcation of the common carotid to carotid canal
located anterior to the jugular foramen
•Superiorly the internal jugular vein, and vagus nerve lie laterally,
medially is the pharynx .
•At the base of the skull the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and
hypoglossal nerves lie between the internal carotid artery and the
internal jugular vein .
•No branches
•C2: petrous segment
•From carotid canal to foramen lacerum within the petrous temporal bone
•Separate from middle ear by a thin plate
•Surrounded by extensive sympathetic plexus
 This segment extends until the foramen lacerum.
 an ascending, or vertical portion; the genu, or bend; and the horizontal
portion.
•Branches
•Vidian artery - anastomoses with external carotid artery (ECA)
•Caroticotympanic artery (supplies middle ear)
•C3: lacerum segment
•Small segment that extends from petrous apex above foramen
lacerum, curving upwards toward cavernous sinus
•Turns 90% superiorly following extra dural course.
•Covered by trigeminal ganglion
•No branches
 C4: Cavernous segment
 Pass from the petrous apex to the dural ring of the anterior clinioid
process surrounded by cavernous sinus .
 Major branches :
 Meningohypophyseal trunk (include the tentorial basal branch, the
tentorial marginal branch, the meningeal branch, the clivus branches
and the inferior hypophyseal artery)
 Inferolateral trunk (The capsular branches also come from the
fourth segment as do the branches from the inferolateral trunk,
namely the branches that supply the trigeminal ganglion, the artery
of the foramen rotundum and branches that run with certain nerves.)
•C5: Clinoid segment
•Between proximal, distal dural rings of cavernous sinus
•Ends as ICA enters subarachnoid space near anterior clinoid process
•No important branches unless ophthalmic artery arises within clinoid
segment.
 C6: Ophthalmic segment
 Extends from distal dural ring at superior clinoid to just
below posterior communicating artery (PCoA) origin
 Two important branches
 the ophthalmic artery
 the superior hypophyseal artery
•C7: Communicating segment
•Extends from below PCoA to terminal ICA bifurcation into anterior cerebral
artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA)
•Passes between optic (CN2), oculomotor (CN3) nerves
•Major branches
•Posterior communicating artery
•Anterior choroidal artery
•Anterior and middle cerebral artery.
 Branches
 C1: cervical segment, none
 C2: petrous (horizontal) segment
caroticotympanic artery
vidian artery
 C3: lacerum segment, none
 C4: cavernous segment
meningohypophyseal trunk
inferolateral trunk
 C5: clinoid segment, none
 C6: ophthalmic (supraclinoid) segment
ophthalmic artery
superior hypophyseal artery
 C7: communicating segment
posterior communicating artery
anterior choroidal artery
anterior cerebral artery
middle cerebral artery
 A useful mnemonic to remember the branches of
the internal carotid artery is:
 A VIP’S COMMA

  • 13.
  • 14.
  • 15. •C5: Clinoid segment •Between proximal, distal dural rings of cavernous sinus •Ends as ICA enters subarachnoid space near anterior clinoid process •No important branches unless ophthalmic artery arises within clinoid segment.
