Abstract
SUMMARY: Carotid rete mirabile (CRM) is a rare condition consisting of a physiological network between the external and internal carotid arteries in lower vertebrates. Only a few cases have been reported in humans presenting as hemorrhagic or ischemic cerebrovascular disorder. We present a case of CRM presenting as an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and discuss the embryologic, anatomic, hemodynamic and clinical significance of this rare entity.Entities:
