duplicated middle cerebral artery
Duplicated
middle cerebral artery associated with aneurysm at M1/M2 bifurcation: a case report. a Magnetic resonance angiography showing duplicated middle cerebral artery (arrowheads) on the left and an aneurysm at the M1/M2 junction of duplicated middle cerebral artery (arrow). b Three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography also demonstrating the left duplicated middle cerebral artery and aneurysms at the M1/M2 junction of duplicated middle cerebral artery (arrow) and internal carotid artery top (small arrow)
nicht verwechseln mit: akzessorische Arteria cerebri media
The duplicated middle cerebral artery is an anatomical variant in which there are two middle cerebral arteries originating from the distal end of the internal carotid artery.
Supply
The duplicated artery supplies the anterior temporal lobe.
Differential diagnosis
It should not be confused with an accessory middle cerebral artery, where the anomalous duplicated vessel originates from the anterior cerebral artery.
