Rete Middle Cerebral Artery Anomaly Presenting with a Large Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Case Report

Rete MCA anomaly is extremely rare and has been seldomly discussed in literature. Embryologically MCA develops by fusion of multiple twigs which form a single channel. If there is failure to fuse a plexiform network of vessels persists known as rete MCA. This web like network of vessels is at high r...
