+A retrospective analysis was performed of 155 patients with ruptured AComA-located aneurysms. The percentage of difference between both A1 arteries was measured on computed tomography angiography images and neck locations were determined. Accordingly, AComA-located aneurysms were classified into 2 groups. In both groups, A1 and A2 arteries and neck size diameters were measured and their relation with aneurysmal depth was studied. The aspect ratio was calculated.
+Eleven patients in which the aneurysm neck originates from the AComA proper with almost equal A1s were classified as the true AComA aneurysm group whereas 144 patients in whom the aneurysm neck originates at the dominant A1 bifurcation into the AComA and A2 with the average difference between both A1s of about 84.44% were classified as the dominant A1-bifurcation group. There is significant correlation between aneurysmal depth and neck diameter in both groups (P ≤ 0.05, P < 0.001). The aspect ratio was calculated as equal to 1.166.
+The dominant A1 bifurcation type is the most common type of AComA-located aneurysm. The present classification provides clinical value in understanding how AComA aneurysms grow and behave. It helps to understand the geometry of multilobulated aneurysms such as ruptured blebs locations during treatment procedures respecting the direction of the dominant A1 axis in group II. Multiple anatomic variations of this complex AComA area can clarify future subtypes of these 2 groups. Thus, further investigation of more patients is needed

+Of 2332 intracranial aneurysm patients, 1.76% (n = 41) had a total of 42 A1 aneurysms. Twenty-six of these (62%) were proximal A1 segment aneurysms, 9 (21%) were distal A1 segment aneurysms, and 7 (17%) were fusiform A1 aneurysms. A1 aneurysms can be classified into 3 main types. Types IA and IB originate from the posterior wall of the proximal A1 segment. Type IA projects posterior-inferiorly, whereas type IB projects posterior-superiorly. Type IIA originates from the distal trunk of the A1 artery. Type IIB originates from an angle of an abnormal cortical branch or a ring of an A1 arterial fenestration. Type III consists of fusiform or dissecting aneurysms located anywhere along the A1 segment. After studying the range of treatments and outcomes, when treating these complex morphologies, we recommend clipping type I and II A1 aneurysms and embolizing type III A1 aneurysms.
+A1 artery aneurysms are a rare type of aneurysm with unique characteristics. The classification system proposed here accurately summarizes these characteristics to better guide treatment strategies

+Ten aneurysms of the horizontal portion of the anterior cerebral artery (A1) were analyzed. These 10 aneurysms were classified into three types according to the mode of the origin of the neck of the aneurysm from the A1 segment: (a) an aneurysm originating from the junction of the A1 segment and the lenticulostriate artery, (b) one from the proximal end of the fenestration of the A1, and (c) one from the top of the A1 loop (elongation and kinking of the A1 segment). In these aneurysms, their size, the side of the A1 segment with an aneurysm, the multiplicity of aneurysms, the coexistence of hypertension, the grade of the patients, the laterality of the subarachnoid blood clots (as seen on computed tomography scans) and surgical outcome were analyzed
