Intrasellar carotid anastomosis simulating pituitary microadenoma
Abstract
Arterial communication between the cavernous segments of the carotid arteries associated with agenesis of the unilateral internal carotid artery is a rare anomaly. Two cases of this anomalous artery with an abnormal sella turcica due to the intrasellar course are reported.
