Abstract:

Multiple intracranial aneurysms are present in 30% of patients with aneurysms, and in our clinical experience, bilateral mirror-image aneurysms occur in 5% of patients. Embolization in wide-necked aneurysms is rarely seen and it is extremely uncommon for a patient to have both a pair of mirrorimage wide-necked aneurysms in the anterior circulation and a basilar-tip wide-necked aneurysm. In this case report, we present a patient with a pair of mirror-image wide-necked middle cerebral artery aneurysms as well as a wide-necked basilar-tip aneurysm that was surgically clipped. We further discuss the significance of this rare occurrence.
