  Fig. 1. Three-dimensional volume rendering view of the circle of Willis obtained using computed tomography angiography (CTA). Brain CTA showing the presence of the right posterior cerebral artery (arrowheads) and hyperplastic right anterior choroidal artery (AchA; arrows). The right AchA supplies the areas of the parieto-occipital and calcarine branches. Unlike the left side (asterisk), there was no posterior communicating artery at the right.
