Abstract
A ruptured anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysm is reported in a pa tient in whom an anomalous ACA arose from the internal carotid artery at the bifurcation. The aberrant artery coursed anteriorly along the i psilateral olfactory tract and made a hairpin turn posterior to the ol factory bulb, supplying the circulation of the ACA. Persistence of the primitive olfactory artery is suggested as an embryological origin of this vascular anomaly.
