Abstract

More than one cerebral aneurysm on the same artery is uncommon. Furthermore multiple aneurysms on the anterior communicating artery(ACoA) is very rare. We surgically experienced one case of two separate aneurysms on the ACoA ; one developed at the junction of the ACoA with the right second branch of anterior cerebral artery, and the other on inferior wall of the ACoA itself. The former, confirmed as ruptured on operation, projected superiorly and the latter directed inferiorly toward the prechiasmatic cistern. Radiographic and operative findings are presented with review of literature.
