[Anomalous Origin of the Ophthalmic Artery from the Anterior Cerebral Artery Associated with the Paraclinoid Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm].

ABSTRACT

The ophthalmic artery usually arises from the supraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery. Here, we present an extremely rare case of abnormal origin of the ophthalmic artery from the anterior cerebral artery associated with the paraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysm. As the embryology of the ophthalmic artery is complex, this case provides additional insight into the variation of the ophthalmic artery.
