Aneurysm of azygos anterior cerebral artery: A report of two cases

Rajesh Kumar Ghanta et al. Asian J Neurosurg. 2016 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

Aneurysms of azygos anterior cerebral artery (ACA) are rare with very few cases reported in medical literature. We report here two cases of aneurysm of azygos ACA among 105 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. The two aneurysms were successfully clipped by using the bifrontal basal interhemispheric approach.

Keywords: Azygos anterior cerebral artery; azygos distal anterior cerebral artery; intracranial aneurysm.
