«Kissing » aneurysms of the distal anterior cerebral artery: clinical case
Abstract
Distal aneurysms of the anterior cerebral arteries are a rather rare pathology, even more rare is the option of a “kissing” aneurysm, in which two aneurysms interact intimately with each other, often in contact with their walls. This message is devoted to the study of this pathology by turning them off from the bloodstream in one form.
