Abstract：Supraclinoid internal carotid artery(ICA)fenestration is a rare vascular developmental variant,and this anomaly may be associated with aneurysm formation.Whether the fenestration is originated from the embryonic development of the ICA or the posterior communicating artery(PCoA)remains controversial.This article retrospectively analyzed the imaging data,diagnosis and treatment process of one patient with supraclinoid ICA fenestration combined with an aneurysm,and further literature review was conducted combining with the case study.The aim of this study was to analyze the etiology of supraclinoid ICA fenestration and its correlation with aneurysm formation,in order to improve clinicians' understanding of this rare anomaly and facilitate the formulation of appropriate treatment plans.
