Abstract

We present a case of aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery associated with a pituitary adenoma. Recognition of this association has important clinical implications, leading to modification of the surgical approach. The aneurysm was shown on MR angiography and confirmed with contrast arteriography and at surgery.
