Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The persistent primitive olfactory artery (PPOA) is a rare anatomical variation.
  • Variations in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) can have significant clinical implications.

Observation:

  • A case is presented of a PPOA diagnosed via magnetic resonance (MR) angiography.
  • The anomaly involved an unusually long anteroinferomedial course of the proximal right ACA along the olfactory tract.

Findings:

  • The anomalous ACA segment was identified as a PPOA after literature review.
  • This represents the first reported case of PPOA diagnosed using MR angiography.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of ACA variations.
