====== Anterior inferior cerebellar artery segments ====== The length of the [[anterior inferior cerebellar artery]] can be divided into four segments including the anterior pontine (close to the [[abducens nerve]]), lateral pontine (close to the facial and vestibulocochlear nerves), floccu peduncular, and cortical segments. The lateral pontine segments can be further divided into pre-meatal, meatal, and postmeatal segments. The segments are named because of their relationship with the [[internal auditory meatus]] ((Fogwe DT, Mesfin FB. Neuroanatomy, Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Arteries. 2019 Mar 26.
