The luminal separation of the vessel into two distinct, parallel channels that reunite distantly is known as fenestration. There is a correlation between the development of an aneurysm and the proximal portion of fenestration, although fenestrations are typically regarded as a variant of normal anatomy. We report an interesting case of an anterior communicating artery (a-comm) aneurysm, which turns out to be a ruptured fenestrated A1 segment aneurysm after digital subtraction angiography with concomitant multiple aneurysms treated by clipping along with case report and literature review.

Article Synopsis
  • Spinal arachnoid cysts are uncommon lesions typically found in the thoracic and thoracolumbar regions of the spine, with MRI being crucial for diagnosis and understanding their characteristics.
  • A study of 22 symptomatic patients over an 18-year period revealed varied symptoms, with common issues being lower limb weakness and incontinence, and demonstrated effective surgical strategies including complete excision and marsupialization.
  • One year post-surgery, patients showed significant improvement in symptoms without any recurrence of the cysts, indicating that surgical intervention is effective for symptomatic cases despite ongoing discussions about the best surgical methods.

Cranial dural arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are abnormal connections between the branches of dural arteries to dural veins or venous sinuses. They are most frequently located at the transverse sinus and cavernous sinus. They can occur at every cranial dural sinus.

Understanding the anatomy of the vertebral artery is essential while manipulating the craniovertebral joint during surgery. Its anomalous course in congenital atlantoaxial dislocation makes it more vulnerable to injury. Preoperative dedicated computed tomography (CT) angiography helps identify the artery's position and plan for surgical procedure.

Vertebro-vertebral fistulas (VVFs) are uncommon vascular pathology. It can be either primary (spontaneous) or secondary (iatrogenic or mechanical trauma). Spontaneous vertebral arteriovenous malformation is often associated with connective tissue disorders.
