abstract：:The authors report on two types of carotid-A(1) junctional aneurysms projecting backwards. In the two A(1)-type examples, the aneurysm originated at the posterior wall of the proximal A(1) joining the carotid termination and could be clipped using an ipsilateral pterional approach. However, in the carotid-type example...
