Common sites of intracerebral aneurysms
The anterior circle of Willis is the most commonly affected section. Aneurysms of the vertebral and basilar arteries are rare.


Multiple cerebral aneurysms
Cranial CT (with contrast; top: axial section; bottom: coronal section)
Multiple focal spherical outpouchings (circled) that arise from the middle cerebral and anterior cerebral arteries of the circle of Willis are visible.
This is the typical appearance of berry aneurysms.
