Abstract
Variations of the anterior cerebral artery-anterior communicating arterycomplex are commonly identified in aneurysm surgery. An infraopticcourse of the anterior cerebral artery is exceedingly rare. Robison first describedthis anomaly from an anatomic dissection in 1959. A unilateralanomalous infraoptic anterior cerebral artery is more common than anomaliesof bilateral infraoptic anterior cerebral arteries. We present the case of anunruptured aneurysm at the anterior communicating artery in a patientwith bilateral infraoptic anterior cerebral arteries, identified by computedtomography angiography and verified during surgery. Implications foraneurysm formation and surgical treatment are discussed.
