Abstract

Hyperplastic anterior choroidal artery (AchA) is an extremely rare congenital vascular variant that can be mistaken for other cerebral arteries. This case report presents a 38-year-old man who presented with a severe sudden-onset headache and was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm originating from a hyperplastic AchA. The aneurysm was successfully treated with coil embolization, but recurrence was detected after eight months, leading to additional surgical intervention. The discussion highlights the classification of hyperplastic AchA and emphasizes the importance of recognizing this anatomical variant to avoid complications during treatment. This case report underscores the need for awareness and understanding of hyperplastic AchA in the management of cerebral aneurysms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
