Fenestration of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery connecting the neck of the paraclinoid aneurysm and the origin of the posterior communicating artery: A case report

Interv Neuroradiol. 2018 Jun;24(3):274-276. doi: 10.1177/1591019917753825. Epub 2018 Jan 31.

Abstract

Fenestration of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery is extremely rare and frequently associated with aneurysms at the fenestrated segment or other vascular anomalies. We present a rare case of fenestration of the right supraclinoid internal carotid artery in which a small fenestrated segment arose from the neck portion of the paraclinoid aneurysm and fused with the origin of the posterior communicating artery.

Keywords: Fenestration; cerebral aneurysm; internal carotid artery.
