Abstract

The case of a 64-year-old woman with multiple intracranial aneurysms and abnormal ophthalmic arteries arising from the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery is described. It is believed that this type of anomaly of the ophthalmic artery has not previously been reported. The neuroradiological and operative findings of this case are presented.
