title: Endovascular treatment of a ruptured accessory middle cerebral artery aneurysm.
abstract: A 51-year-old female presented with bilateral accessory middle cerebral arteries (MCA) with associated ruptured aneurysm manifesting as a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Angiography demonstrated the bilateral accessory MCA and associated ruptured aneurysm at the junction of the left anterior cerebral artery and left accessory MCA. This was successfully treated by coil embolization. Magnetic resonance angiography obtained 6 months later revealed no evidence of residual or recurring aneurysm.
