Recurrent Artery of Huebner

The recurrent artery of Huebner is the largest and longest of the penetrating branches of the anterior cerebral artery. It arises from either the proximal A2 segment, the A1 segment, or, less commonly, the anterior communicating artery. It terminates dorsal and slightly lateral to the carotid bifurcation.

The recurrent artery of Huebner and medial lenticulostriate arteries supply the caudate head, anterior limb of the internal capsule, and part of the basal ganglia.
