摘要
We herein report a case of multiple variations, including (1) anterior communicating artery duplication, (2) accessory anterior cerebral artery (ACA), (3) distal origin right accessory middle cerebral artery (MCA) with bifurcation, (4) proximal origin left accessory MCA with bifurcation, (5) right superior cerebellar artery (SCA) duplication, and (6) left SCA early bifurcation. These variations were found incidentally by magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. Volume-rendering images of MR angiography were more useful than maximum-intensity-projection images for identifying these variations, especially bilateral accessory MCAs, which were superimposed with the A1 segment of the ACAs and the M1 segment of the MCAs.
