Summary. In a consecutive series of 330 patients with 337 aneurysms who were operated on two rare cases with an azygos anterior cerebral artery (AACA) were identified harboring an aneurysm at its distal end.Both patients were successfully operated on.The incidence of the distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms was not in close correlation with this anomalous vessel.The preponderance of females was hypothesized but the confirmation is still rather inconclusive.
Key words: Azygos artery, anterior cerebral artery, aneurysms, bihemispheric pericallosal artery
ANEURIZME PREDNJE CEREBRALNE AZIGOS ARTERIJE  POTVRDJENE NA OPERACIJI
Kratak sadržaj. U konsekutivnoj seriji od 330 pacijenata sa 377 aneurizmi na cerebralnim krvnim sudovima, koje su bile operisane na našoj klinici, nadjena su dva retka slučaja aneurizmi prednje cerebralne arterije koje su uspešno operisane. Nije nadjena adekvatna korelacija izmedju aneurizmi distalnog dela prednje cerebralne arterije i ovih anomalnih arterija. Dominantnost ženskog pola postavljena je kao hipoteza, ali se nije mogla ubedljivo dokazati.
Ključne reči: Arterija azigos, prednja cerebralna arterija, aneurizme, bihemisferna perikalozalna arterija
