Abstract
Intracranial 'kissing' aneurysms are rare types of multiple aneurysms referring to two adjacent aneurysms arising from identical or different arteries with separate origins and partially adherent walls. The present study reported a 54-year-old female patient, who was identified with a 'kissing' aneurysm in the A3 segment of the bilateral anterior cerebral arteries, as demonstrated by head computed tomography and emergency cerebral digital subtraction angiography analysis. In total, 12 days following the clipping of the aneurysms, the patient was discharged with a Modified Rankin Scale=0 and recovered well with no neurological deficits. Based on previous literature, it was indicated that the majority of patients with 'kissing' aneurysm have a good prognosis and the cure rate is as high as 96.8%. However, the recovery rate may not be that high as the sample size is not large enough to thoroughly demonstrate the complete prognosis of 'kissing' aneurysms.
