Abstract

Kissing aneurysms are very rare with only a few cases having been previously reported in the literature. We report a case of aneurysms arising from bilateral distal anterior cerebral arteries. A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with subarachnoid hemorrhage. CT angiogrms and cerebral angiograms showed mirror image aneurysms touching each other were located at bilateral distal anterior cerebral arteries. During operation we confirmed the aneurysms were in contact.
