Heubner's artery (also known as the recurrent artery of Heubner), named after the German paediatrician Otto Heubner is a branch from the anterior cerebral artery, typically from the distal A1 segment or proximal A2 segment. Its vascular territory is the anteromedial section of the caudate nucleus and the anterioinferior section of the internal capsule. Heubner's artery is the distal part of the medial striate artery. In cases of obstructed flow in the Heubner's artery, the individual may experience infarction in those subcortical areas and thus hemiparesis.
