ABSTRACT

It is important to understand the patient’s vascular anatomy before treating cerebral aneurysms. The middle artery of the corpus callosum is one of the least common variations of the anterior communicating artery (AComA) complex. We describe the case of a 59-year-old woman who suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an AComA complex aneurysm that had ruptured. Fluorescein injection during the aneurysm clipping procedure revealed a partial obstruction of the middle artery, requiring clip repositioning. The vascular variations that patients may exhibit must be considered in aneurysm clipping surgery.
