Pericallosal artery ectasia with associated stenosis.
We report a rare case of bilateral pericallosal artery ectasia with stenosis in a 49-year-old man complaining of frontal headache. CT showed a serpiginous calcified interhemispheric fissure lesion with contrast enhancement. Imaging of this lesion was pursued with MR and MR angiography; however, conventional cerebral angiography was needed to make a definitive diagnosis.
