Proximal stump of an occluded middle cerebral artery mimicking a ruptured saccular aneurysm

Proximal stump of an occluded middle cerebral artery mimicking a ruptured saccular aneurysm

It is difficult to distinguish a stump of occluded intracranial arteries from saccular aneurysms on computed tomography (CT) and angiography images. To our knowledge, a middle cerebral artery (MCA) vascular stump which mimicking an aneurysm is extremely rare. Although several cases of MCA vascular s...
