Recurrent artery of Heubner infarction: a complication after clipping of anterior communicating artery aneurysm

Abstract Recurrent artery of Heubner (RAH) infarction is a potential complication following the surgical clipping of anterior communicating artery (A-comm) aneurysms. RAH plays a crucial role in supplying blood to the basal ganglia and anterior limb of the internal capsule. Understanding the pathogenesis, prognosis, and surgical result of RAH infarction is critical for providing the best care for patients. The literature study produced case reports and retrospective research on topics including the RAH infarct and A-comm aneurysm clipping. The importance of recognizing and controlling the risk of a RAH infarction in relation to A-comm aneurysm clipping is emphasized in this research. RAH infarction following clipping of an A-comm aneurysm has a complex pathophysiology, and by learning more about its causes, prognosis, and surgical results, medical personnel may better assist their patients. While further study is needed to overcome the obstacles highlighted here, the information presented here lays the groundwork for future research and adds to what is already known about the topic.
