Özet

A rare case with multiple aneurysms located on a single segment of the internal carotid artery is presented. A 43 year-old woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage was referred to our department. Digital subtraction angiography was performed, and two saccular aneurysms on the supraclinoid portion of the left internal carotid artery were detected. Both of the aneurysms were clipped successfully through a pterional approach. This very rare occurence of two consecutive aneurysms on one artery and surgical treatment options are discussed.
