“…1) Vascular anomalies are considered to be predisposing factors for cerebral aneurysms, but whether DMCA tends to result in aneurysms more often than other anomalies remains unclear. Considering the prevalence of this artery, 1) the number of reported aneurysms arising from DMCA is small, with only 20 reported cases, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] suggesting no tendency to cause aneurysms. We describe a case of unruptured DMCA aneurysm, which was successfully treated by surgical clipping, and discuss the characteristics and technical difficulty.…”

A 60-year-old woman presented with a rare unruptured aneurysm of duplication of the middle cerebral artery (DMCA) identified at examination for headache. Preoperative cerebral angiography revealed the DMCA and a small aneurysm at its origin. Surgical clipping was performed successfully via the transsylvian approach. DMCA aneurysms have a tendency to bleed even if small, but the anatomical configuration causes some technical difficulties.
