Abstract

Although variations of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA)-anterior communicating artery complex are commonly identified on imaging studies, an infraoptic course of the ACA is exceedingly rare. What is believed to be the first case of an infraoptic course of the ACA discovered with MR angiography and further characterized with conventional angiography is presented. The high prevalence of associated aneurysms and the implications for surgical planning make preoperative recognition of this anomaly critical.
