C, Volume subtraction (VS)-3DCTA, anteroposterior view, clearly showing the left carotid cave aneurysm with inferomedial direction (arrow).

D, Intra-arterial angiogram, lateral view, showing an infundibular widening (long arrow) of the left PcomA and a PcomA (short arrow) originating from the top of the infundibular widening.

E, VS-3DCTA, medial view, showing the left carotid cave aneurysm in the inferomedial direction (arrow) and the PcomA (arrowhead) originating from the top of the infundibular widening.
