Fenestrated Anterior Cerebral Artery, Anterior Communicating Artery, with Accessory Middle Cerebral Artery-A Conglomeration of Embryologically Different Entities in a Single Individual.

Cerebral arterial fenestrations are anatomic variants of undetermined significance where there is a division of a single vessel into at least 2 channels, each having endothelial and muscular layers, that coalesce to a single lumen in the distal course of the vessel. The basilar artery is the most common site, followed by the anterior communicating artery. The accessory middle cerebral artery is defined as the anomalous origin of the vessel from the anterior cerebral artery and its further course along the sylvian fissure parallel to the middle cerebral artery. The embryologic basis of all these has been explained by studies on human embryological development by Padget et al. However, simultaneous existence of all 3 anomalies in a single individual has never been reported. Here we present a case of medial sphenoid wing meningioma with these incidental findings during workup and further delineation of anatomy following surgical resection of meningioma.
