The Anterior Choroidal Artery Does Not Supply the Corona Radiata and Lateral Ventricular Wall
Stroke 22:1502-1507, Mohr,J.P.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The anatomic distributions were fairly uniform,all involving the lower portion of the posterior limb of the internal capsule,the medial pallidum (75%of cases),cerebral peduncle in 44%,thalamus in 37%,and the medial temporal lobe in 38%.None extended outside these areas to include the upper corona radiata.The clinical picture corresponded to the well- established neurological syndrome featuring motor deficits with varying degrees of visual field and sensory impairments.Only two showed hypesthetic ataxic hemiparesis.Our findings indicate that the syndrome of anterior choroidal artery infarction is fairly uniform;ataxic hemiparesis occurs infrequently;and lesions in the lateral ventricular wall and the corona radiata are not part of the territory supplied by the anterior choroidal artery.
