The authors describe the case of multiple rare distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms related to a middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm, an azygos, and an undescribed anterior cerebral artery (ACA) anatomical variation. A 61-year-old woman in a severe clinical state was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) secondary to a ruptured anterior A3 DACA aneurysm. The patient also had unruptured kissing superior A3 DACA aneurysms, an atherosclerotic DACA aneurysm between the anterior and superior DACA aneurysms, and an unruptured MCA left aneurysm. Two pericallosal anatomical variations were seen: an A2 azygos and a rare single post-bifurcation (callosomarginal artery) pericallosal artery. All aneurysms were clipped using a single-staged left craniotomy with interhemispheric, subfrontal, and transsylvian access. This study demonstrates a patient with rare anatomical ACA variants and multiple complex aneurysms treated in a single-stage craniotomy.
作者描述了与大脑中动脉(MCA)动脉瘤、奇静脉以及一种未描述的大脑前动脉(ACA)解剖变异相关的多发罕见大脑前动脉远段(DACA)动脉瘤病例。一名处于严重临床状态的61岁女性被诊断为因大脑前动脉A3段远段动脉瘤破裂继发蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)。该患者还存在未破裂的大脑前动脉A3段近吻状动脉瘤、位于大脑前动脉A3段近段和远段动脉瘤之间的动脉粥样硬化性大脑前动脉远段动脉瘤以及未破裂的左侧大脑中动脉瘤。观察到两种胼周动脉解剖变异:一条A2段奇静脉和一条罕见的单一分叉后(胼缘动脉)胼周动脉。所有动脉瘤均通过单阶段左开颅手术,经半球间、额下和经侧裂入路进行夹闭。本研究展示了一名患有罕见解剖学大脑前动脉变异和多发复杂动脉瘤的患者,通过单阶段开颅手术进行治疗。
