Abstract
Cerebral artery fenestrations are rare anatomical variants usually detected incidentally on cross-sectional imaging or cerebral angiography. Although considered benign findings, many reports have described their association with vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations, and to a lesser extent with ischemic or hemorrhagic complications. We report a case of middle cerebral artery fenestration associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage and middle cerebral artery thrombosis. To our knowledge, there has been no prior report of middle cerebral artery fenestration with a similar presentation.
