Abstract

Aneurysms of the anterior choroidal artery (AChA) are the most common pathology of the vessel. Although proximal aneurysms at the internal carotid artery (ICA) and AChA junction are common, their occurrence in the distal segment of the AChA is quite rare. We report a case of a distal AChA aneurysm occurring in the intraplexal segment of the AChA. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an intraplexal distal AChA aneurysm.
