AI Article Synopsis
- The anterior cerebral artery (ACA) can sometimes have a duplicate origin, which occurs when two arteries from the internal carotid artery merge to form a ring.
- This condition is very rare and is not the same as other variations like ACA fenestration or duplicate middle cerebral arteries.
- In this report, a case of duplicate ACA origin was discovered accidentally through magnetic resonance angiography imaging.
Article Abstract
An anterior cerebral artery (ACA) of duplicate origin results from the fusion of two arteries that arise from the terminal segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) to form a ring. This variation is extremely rare and differs from proximal ACA fenestration, supraclinoid fenestration of the ICA, and duplicate origin of the middle cerebral artery. We report a case diagnosed incidentally by magnetic resonance angiography.
