Two cases of spontaneous dissecting aneurysm localized to the anterior cerebral artery are reported. Both patients experienced severe headaches, followed by symptoms of cerebral ischemia. In the first case, the dissecting aneurysm showed an angiographic appearance resembling a saccular aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery, and the diagnosis of dissecting aneurysm was confirmed at operation. The second case was treated conservatively, and the diagnosis was reached by repeat angiographic studies.
