Using a New Landmark of the Most External Point in the Embolization of Distal Anterior Choroidal Aneurysms: A Report of Two Cases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
There are landmarks on the course of the anterior choroidal artery (AChoA), such as the original point (OP) and the plexal point (PP), as documented in previous articles. In these previous articles, the AChoA was the terminal branch of the internal carotid artery (ICA), which had two segments throughout its course. The first cisternal segment began from the origin and ended at the point where the artery reached the choroidal fissure (the PP). The second segment consisted of one or more branches, which passed through the choroidal fissure and entered the choroid plexus. However, we found another angiographic landmark, named the most external point (MEP), along the course of the AChoA in the anteroposterior (AP) view. There was a sharp turn at the outermost limit of the course of the AChoA, and then the AChoA progressed inward and upward. We defined the outermost limit as the MEP of the AChoA. This study describes two rare cases of distal AChoA aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and Moyamoya disease that developed intraventricular hemorrhage, and we used the parent artery occlusion (PAO) technique to embolize the distal AChoA lesions at the MEP. The patients recovered well without any neurological complications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
