Unusual variant of the anterior cerebral artery.

A rare abnormality of the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is reported. The right ACA bifurcated into two parts at the middle point of the A1 segment, and these segments did not rejoin. The superior right A1 segment connected with the left A1 and formed a single pericallosal artery.

Epilepsy and variation in the frontal lobe artery.

A patient with a rare variation of fronto-orbital artery (FOA) that developed generalized tonic and clonic seizures is reported. The epilepsy focus was in her left frontal region, where blood was supplied by the contralateral fronto-orbital artery. The region was vulnerable to ischemic changes due to a decrease in blood CO2 gas caused by an increase in endogenous progesterone in the luteal period.
