Theoretical and practical aspects of the complex treatment of brain and spinal vascular diseases using microsurgical, endovascular and radiosurgical methods are considered. Authors present the data demonstrating that, due to the implementation of the program of development of vascular centers in the Russian Federation, considerable progress was made in the treatment of cerebral aneurisms and hemorrhagic stroke. In author's opinion, wide introduction of surgical methods in the treatment of occlusive lesions of the blood vessels supplying the brain is needed.
The accessory middle cerebral artery is a rare congenital vascular abnormality. The international literature has reported cases of accessory MCA aneurysms. In this article, we describe a case of rupture of a giant partially thrombosed aneurysm of the accessory MCA. This case is of great interest due to rarity of the pathology and associated diagnostic errors.
