摘要
Arterial communication between cavernous segments of the carotid arteries associated with unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is extremely rare. We herein present a case of unilateral ICA agenesis with transcavernous anastomosis that presents with an anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm, and discuss its embryogeny and clinical implications.
