Ruptured anomalous hyperplastic anterior choroidal artery aneurysm: a case report.

A 48-year-old man hospitalized for subarachnoid hemorrhage harbored a ruptured aneurysm arising from an anomalous hyperplastic anterior choroidal artery. Endovascular treatment was performed and the aneurysm was successfully embolized with neck remnant. The anterior choroidal artery is a very important artery supplying critical brain structures in the treatment of intracranial vascular disease. Anomalous hyperplastic anterior choroidal artery is rare, so the embryological perspective is important for its recognition in surgical procedures.
