A 51-year-old woman presented with a distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm (DACAA) manifestingas severe headache and monoparesis of the left lower limb. Computed tomography revealed subarachnoidhemorrhage in the interhemispheric fissure, bilateral sylvian fissures, and basal cistern, and a hematoma inthe supracallosal region. Angiography showed a large aneurysm (23×18mm) located on the distal end ofthe azygos anterior cerebral artery (azygos ACA) at the supracallosal portion. T2-weightecl magnetic reso-nance imaging demonstrated the hematoma as a mixed intensity mass, compressing the corpus callosumdownward, and the aneurysm as a flow void anterior to the hematoma. Unilateral frontoparietal arasagit-tal craniotomy was performed with a horse-shoe shaped incision. The aneurysm was clipped via thein-terhemispheric approach, and the hematoma was aspirated. Postoperative angiography showed disappe-arance of the aneurysm and intact azygos ACA. The patient was discharged with mild monoparesis, pares-thesia of the left lower limb and diagonistic dyspraxia.

DACAA almost always arises at or near the genu of the corpus callosum and is often associated withvascular anomaly. In the literature, 22 of 26 cases of large and giant DACAA were located at or near thegenu, but only 3 cases, including ours, in the supracallosal area. 11 cases were associated withazygosACA. Therefore, hemodynamic stress caused by vascular anomaly may be involved in the formation oflarge or giant DACAA in contrast with cases of normal DACAA.
