Abstract

A persistent primitive olfactory artery is a rare vascular anomaly and is incidentally found without any associated symptom for the most part. However, it has clinical significance in view of its high association with the development of cerebral aneurysms occurring at the hairpin turn. We present a case of a persistent primitive olfactory artery incidentally diagnosed by a CT angiography as well as a literature review of related previous articles.
