• We present a case in which the origin of the branching vessel at the aneurysm neck was observed at the wrong place on the volume rendering method (VR) with 3D time-of-flight MRA (3D-TOF-MRA) with 3-Tesla MR system. In 3D-TOF-MRA, it is often difficult to observe the origin of the branching vessel, but it is unusual for it to be observed in the wrong place. In the planning of interventional treatment and surgical procedures, false recognition, as in the unique case in the present report, is a serious problem. Decisions based only on VR with 3D-TOF-MRA can be a cause of suboptimal selection in clinical treatment.
