A 47-year-old man presented with sudden-onset headache and Fisher group 3 subarachnoid hemorrhage. The World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade was II. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) only showed a vessel wall irregularity in the A1 segment of the right anterior cerebral artery (ACA), but an obvious bleeding source was not detected. Repeat angiography showed a tiny aneurysmal dilatation in the A1 segment with an intimal flap. The aneurysm enlarged on subsequent angiograms. Dissecting aneurysm was diagnosed, and the patient underwent internal trapping of the A1 segment to prevent rerupture. Postoperative DSA showed complete obliteration of the dissected segment. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a clinically silent cerebral infarction in the territory of the A1 segment perforators. Parent vessel occlusion for a dissected A1 segment can be effective, provided that sufficient collateral blood flow from the contralateral ACA is observed. We recommend endovascular trapping in this setting and hope that fellow clinicians select this approach for this rare pathology.
