title: Transient ischemic attack associated with stenosis of accessory middle cerebral artery: a case report.
abstract: Accessory middle cerebral artery (MCA) is a rare anatomical variation of middle cerebral artery branching. An association of the accessory middle cerebral artery and cerebral aneurysms had been well documented. We report a patient who presented with transient ischemic attack (TIA) associated with stenosis of the accessory MCA ostium.
