The azygos anterior cerebral artery (AACA) is a large single anterior cerebral artery that supplies both medial territories of the anterior cerebral hemispheres. Occlusion of the AACA can result, therefore, in bifrontal infarction. We report a patient who suffered from a tetraparesis following a bilateral anterior cerebral artery territory infarction due to an occluded AACA and provide a brief review of the literature.

ABSTRACT A case of cerebral infarction in the territory of the anterior cerebral artery after a minor head injury is reported. It is possible that direct or mechanical damage by the edge of the falx or stretching and shearing of the anterior cerebral artery after an acute shift of the corpus callosum caused the localized lesion of the left anterior cerebral artery. We think that this mechanical injury caused a dissecting aneurysm or a cerebral arterial dissection, which was diagnosed by sequential angiographic changes.

Background: Fusiform aneurysms (FA) of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) are found rarely. The common clinical presentation is a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Surgery is the main treatment to prevent rebleeding. Case Description: The authors present a case report of the ruptured FA of the ACA. The presented case demonstrates the successful microsurgical clipping of the fusiform ACA aneurysm. Conclusion: A1-segment FA can lead to SAH with poor prognosis. The main goal of surgical treatment is to prevent rebleeding. Direct microsurgical clipping is one of the surgical options.

The natural history of atraumatic idiopathic dissection of the distal anterior cerebral artery is still unclear. We present a 38-year-old man who had dissection of the leftA2segment of this vessel associated with subintimal hematoma and infarction. Because of complete stroke in acute stage, he did not undergo surgery. About three months later, administration of aspirin (100 mg/day) was started. At nine months, magnetic resonance angiography revealed complete recanalization of theA2dissection. To assess the outcome of dissection, we should observe the patient for at least one year.
