One artery of the anterolateral central arteries group is of larger size than the rest, and is of special importance, as being the artery in the brain most frequently ruptured; it has been termed by Charcot the artery of cerebral hemorrhage (or lenticulostriate artery).

It ascends between the lentiform nucleus and the external capsule, and ends in the caudate nucleus.
