Azygos anterior cerebral artery mimicking an anterior communicating artery aneurysm.

چکیده
The CT appearance of intracranial aneurysms has been well described. Though a definitive diagnosis often requires angiography, the CT findings are often highly suggestive of these frequent , potentially lethal, and curable vascular lesions. We recently encountered a patient who had the typical CT findings of intracranial aneurysm but whose arteriographic findings showed a large azygos anterior cerebral artery.

Anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is one of the two terminal branches of internal carotid artery that supplies orbitofrontal and medial hemispheric portions of the brain. ACA is topographically and angiograpically divided into a precommunicating (A1) and a postcommunicating (A2, also called as pericallosal artery) parts. An azygos (occurring singly) pericallosal artery in one of the most frequent ...

Cerebral aneurysms are occasionally associated with anomalies of cerebral arteries, that should be recognized pre- and intra-operatively. Most of the previous reports on the anomalies of the anterior cerebral artery have been concerned with hypoplasia, fenestration, and infra-optic course of the A1, variant A1 perforators or Heubner's artery, multi-channeled anterior communicating artery, and a...

The azygos anterior cerebral artery, a rare anomaly in the circle of Willis in which only a single vessel supplies the medial aspects of both anterior cerebral hemispheres, is closely associated with saccular aneurysms. We present three cases of azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysms among the 781 cerebral aneurysms surgically treated at our institution in an 11-year period. These three case...

BACKGROUND The azygos anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is an uncommon intracranial vascular anomaly of the circle of Willis. Identification of aneurysm from azygos ACA with anterior falcine meningioma is an extremely rare association. The aim of the present study is to report the case of an adult female with a ruptured aneurysm from azygos ACA in association with an anterior falcine meningioma. ...
