title: "True" Accessory Anterior Cerebral Artery: A Newly Reported Anterior Cerebral Arterial Anomaly and a Proposal for Its Classification.
abstract: If we use the same naming policy of middle cerebral arterial anomalies, then accessory anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) should be applied for ACA anomalies originating from the ACA. We experienced such a rare ACA anomaly, which we referred to as true accessory ACA.
