Mechanical thrombectomy for tandem internal carotid artery-middle cerebral artery occlusion in a patient with a persistent hypoglossal artery: illustrative case.

This case highlights that a PHA may function as a critical collateral pathway. Recognition of atypical perfusion patterns and preprocedural identification of vascular anomalies are essential for safe and effective MT. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25961.
