What is the order of the cerebellar arteries from superior to inferior, and how can it be remembered?

The order of the cerebellar arteries from superior to inferior is remembered using the acronym SAP: Superior cerebellar artery, Anterior inferior cerebellar artery, and Posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Key diagnostic features include their origin from the basilar and vertebral arteries, which are crucial in cerebellar stroke syndromes. Clinically, knowing this order helps in diagnosing vascular territories affected in cerebellar strokes. A common pitfall is confusing the anterior and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries, which can lead to misdiagnosis of stroke localization.
