Absent right common carotid artery associated with left accessory middle cerebral artery diagnosed by computed tomography angiography
Absence of the CCA is associated with the development of the aorta and various vascular variations; however, to our knowledge, this is the first report of an association with a contralateral accessory MCA, the existence of which may be considered incidental. Preoperative knowledge of this rare variation is important when considering endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms and other arterial lesions.
