Summary

A rare vascular anomaly, the persistent primitive olfactory artery, is linked to cerebral aneurysms. This study reviews cases, highlighting its association with saccular aneurysms and anosmia.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Neurology
  • Neuroanatomy
  • Cerebrovascular Diseases

Background:

  • The persistent primitive olfactory artery is a rare vascular anomaly.
  • It has significant clinical importance due to its association with cerebral aneurysms.

Observation:

  • This study describes a patient with bilateral persistent primitive olfactory arteries and an associated unruptured saccular aneurysm.
  • Seven reported cases, including this one, were reviewed and classified into two variants based on their anatomical course.

Findings:

  • The persistent primitive olfactory artery arises from the internal carotid artery and can form the distal anterior cerebral artery (variant 1) or the ethmoidal artery (variant 2).
  • Of the seven cases, four were associated with saccular aneurysms, with aneurysms in variant 1 located at the hairpin curve.

  • Two patients experienced anosmia.

    • Implications:

    • The persistent primitive olfactory artery is associated with intracranial saccular aneurysms.
    • Awareness of this anomaly is crucial for understanding its unique clinical presentations and potential complications.
