Treatment of Unruptured Aneurysm of Duplication of the Middle Cerebral Artery -Case Report-

Abstract: 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.

“…1) Some patients with excess blood vessels develop cerebral aneurysms, but DMCA aneurysms arising at its origin are rare, although their incidence remains to be clarified. In all, 11 patients with unruptured aneurysms at the origin, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] including an autopsy case reported by Crompton et al 1) have been reported. The 12 patients, including the present case, are summarized in Table 1.…”
