111
Q

Anomalies of ACA are common

A

Azygous ACA, the “unpaired ACA” (type I anomaly) is rare.

Type II anomaly is “bihemispheric ACA” as an A2 segment of the ACA that

sends branches across the midline to both hemispheres, usually in the

presence of a contralateral A2 segment that is either hypoplastic or that terminates early

most common (type III anomaly) is the “accessory ACA,” defined as a third artery originating from the Acom, in addition to the paired A2, usually in the midline and with branches to one or both hemispheres.

112
Q

Familial aneurysms most syndroms associated

A

polycystic kidney disease, and connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos type IV, Marfan syndrome, and pseudoxanthoma elasticum
