  • Title: [Ruptured fusiform aneurysm of the supreme anterior communicating artery: a case report].
    Author: Saito H, Ishikawa T, Miyata H, Moroi J, Mutoh T, Suzuki A.
    Journal: No Shinkei Geka; 2012 Dec; 40(12):1101-5. PubMed ID: 23180748.
    Abstract:
    The supreme anterior communicating artery (SAcom) is a very rare anomaly that appears as a communicating artery between the anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs). This anomaly was first reported by Laitinen and Snellman in 1960. They described the SAcom as a connection between both pericallosal bifurcations. They also suggest that the SAcom may be an embryological remnant and a cause of aneurysm formation. A distal ACA aneurysm can be associated with the SAcom. In this case report, we describe a ruptured fusiform aneurysm originating from the SAcom. We treated the patient by trapping the SAcom along with the aneurysm. This is the first case report regarding a ruptured fusiform aneurysm originating from the SAcom itself.
