Persistent primitive olfactory artery aneurysm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hypertensive 69-year-old man presented with an incidentally discovered non-ruptured aneurysm of the persistent primitive olfactory artery (POA). The POA originates at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery, runs along the olfactory tract anteriorly toward the crista galli, and forms an acute angle with the distal anterior cerebral artery. The aneurysm was located at this characteristic acute angle. The persistent POA aneurysm associated with an anterior communicating artery aneurysm with wide neck was successfully treated by clipping surgery.

متن کاملLETTER TO THE EDITOR Persistent primitive olfactory artery
I have read with great interest the paper recently published in your journal by Uchino et al. [5] describing the persistent primitive olfactory artery (POA). In the anatomical paper on cerebral arteries, two important points are required. One is description of the detailed arterial anatomy (static anatomy). In this sense, new information of the incidence of the POA being 0.14% and no laterality...
