Abstract
Rarely, the ophthalmic artery (OA) arises from the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) inferolaterally and enters into the orbit via the superior orbital fissure. This anomalous OA that originates from the inferolateral trunk is regarded as a persistent dorsal OA. Extremely rarely, both normal OA and persistent dorsal OA arise from the ICA. We report the first case of such double OAs, one of which arose from the cavernous segment of the ICA superolaterally and we believe that it originated from the meningohypophyseal trunk rather than the inferolateral trunk.
