Multiple aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery are rare. The authors describe a patient who was admitted with a sudden, severe headache with radiation to the neck. Angiograms demonstrated filling of both anterior cerebral arteries and bilateral aneurysms arising from the origin of the anterior communicating artery. Both aneurysms were surgically verified and clipped.

A rare case of simultaneous rupture of multiple aneurysms is reported. A 68-year-old man presented severe headache and vomiting and was transferred to our hospital. CT scan showed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the interhemispheric fissure, the right basal cistern, the right sylvian fissure and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the paraventricle area. Continuation of the hemorrhage could not be detected between SAH and ICH on CT scan. Multiple aneurysms were detected by angiograms on the anterior communicating artery (A-com) and the bifurcation and the distal portion of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). These findings suggested that SAH was due to a ruptured aneurysm of A-com, and ICH was due to a ruptured aneurysm of the distal portion of MCA. Simultaneous rupture of multiple aneurysms was confirmed by surgical findings. This case indicates that the usual assumption of a single aneurysm rupture in a patient with multiple aneurysms may be erroneous.
