Abstract:
Most so-called aneurysms of the posterior communicating artery(PcomA) are actually aneurysms of the internal carotid-PcomA junction, and microsurgery has enabled us to recognize the relation of these aneurysms to the PcomA. A 62-year-old woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage showed a saccular aneurysm arising from the PcomA itself, and successful clipping was carried out. In this paper, we discuss certain unique characteristics of this aneurysm, and related surgical procedures.
