Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot very rarely manifests with variations of the cerebral arteries, but we detected an extremely rare combination comprising 3 such variants –bilateral carotid–anterior cerebral arteries anastomoses, the vertebral–anterior inferior cerebellar arteries anastomosis (proximal basilar artery duplication) and a nonbifurcating cervical carotid artery– in a 19-year-old man during magnetic resonance angiography to evaluate syncope. Recognition and correct diagnosis of these variations are crucial prior to surgical or radiological cerebrovascular intervention. Both partial maximum-intensity-projection images and source images are useful in identifying these vessels on MR angiography.
