Multiple aneurysms arising from the origin of a duplication of the middle cerebral artery

Duplication of the middle cerebral artery is an anomalous vessel arising from the internal carotid artery. There have only been 14 reports of aneurysms arising from the origin of a duplication of the middle cerebral artery and 5 of these patients had multiple aneurysms. Aneurysms at this site have a high rupture rate compared to aneurysms in other locations and aggressive management is indicated.
