Abstract：The anterior communicating artery aneurysm is the most common intracranial aneurysm,and the anterior communicating artery serves as the continuation of the anterior cerebral artery segments A1 and A2,thus the segments A1 and A2 of the anterior cerebral artery have certain influence on the occurrence of anterior communicating artery aneurysm.For example,the larger the ratio of the diameter of the bilateral A1 segment,the more likely it is for an anterior communicating artery aneurysm to occur.The anatomical variations of the segments A1 and A2 also promotes the occurrence of anterior communicating artery aneurysm.Similarly,the angles of A1-A2 and A2 with the anterior communicating artery also affect the occurrence of anterior communicating artery aneurysm.Not only that,the segment A1 also affects the growth direction of the anterior communicating artery aneurysm and even its rupture.This review summarizes the research progress on the anatomy of the anterior communicating artery and the occurrence and rupture of anterior communicating artery aneurysm,providing clinical references.
