Agenesis of the left internal carotid artery associated with right anterior cerebral artery A1 segment bifurcation aneurysm: a case report.
Agenesis of the internal carotid artery occurs in less than 0.01% of the population. Intracranial aneurysms accompany agenesis in 25-43% of the patients. We present a unique patient with a saccular aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery associated with agenesis of contralateral internal carotid artery.
