Abstract EN

The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is divided into 4 segments: precommunicating segment (P1), postcommunicating segment (P2), quadrigeminal segment (P3), and calcarine segment (P4).

Small aneurysms are more prevalent than large aneurysms in patients with ruptured aneurysms.

P2 and P3 aneurysms are usually managed by the subtemporal approach.

This is a case report of rupture saccular aneurysm of posterior cerebral artery on P2P segment.

The authors show the surgical steps of these rare aneurysms with an illustrative case.
