Abstract

Background and importance

Aneurysms of the anterior choroidal artery (AChoA) are rare and often difficult to treat. Variations may be present and must be identified prior to treatment. We report a unique case of a ruptured aneurysm located at the origin of a duplicate branch of the AChoA.

Clinical presentation

A 56-year-old male was admitted to our university hospital for coma. A brain CT scan showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and CT angiography revealed a duplication of the right AChoA, with an aneurysm located at the branch’s origin. We decided to embolize this aneurysm. Four weeks later, our patient was able to transfer to the rehabilitation unit.

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first descriptions of an aneurysm located at the origin of a duplicate branch of the AChoA.
