We report an extremely rare anomalous variation of left anterior cerebral artery arising from the contralateral Paraclinoid Internal carotid artery with Hypoplastic right Anterior cerebral artery in a 56 years old female which was incidentally detected on computed tomographic angiography of cerebral vessels. Angiographic identification and characterisation of this anomaly is very important in developing a differential diagnosis and when planning a surgery and endovascular procedure.Keywords: Anterior cerebral artery, Paraclinoid Internal carotid artery, Anterior communicating artery Computed tomography angiography
