Ruptured partially thrombosed anterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms: two case reports and review of literature
Aneurysms arising from the distal anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) are very rare. When the parent artery is an AICA-posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) variant, occlusion of the artery, even distal to the meatal loop, leads to a significant area of cerebellar infarction. We report two cases of ruptured partially thrombosed distal AICA aneurysms. In both cases, the parent arter...
متن کاملThrombosed Large Distal Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Mimicking an Infratentorial Ependymoma
Large or giant intracranial aneurysms can simulate brain tumors clinically and radiologically by virtue of their progressive mass effect. Unlike aneurysms from alternative locations, those arising from the distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are uncommon. We report a patient who experienced progressive hemiparesis with magnetic resonance imaging findings suggestive of an infraten...
متن کاملMultiple Peripheral Aneurysms Associated and not Associated with Arteriovenous Malformation
Two cases of patients with multiple peripheral aneurysms are reported ; four aneurysms arising from the left callosomarginal artery feeding an arterivenous malformation (AVM) in a 51year-old female and two aneurysms from the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery not associated with AVM in a 53-year-old female. In the former case , the AVM was partly thrombosed and the most distal aneurysm w...
متن کاملAneurysm in the anterior inferior cerebellar artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery variant: Case report and review of literature
INTRODUCTION There are variations in the anatomy of the vertebrobasilar system amongst which the Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery-Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (AICA-PICA) variant is thought to have a prevalence of 20-24% (based on retrospective studies). Despite this, aneurysms of the AICA-PICA variant are rare. We present a case of an AICA-PICA aneurysm and discuss its presentation ...
متن کاملGiant aneurysm of distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery: a case report and review of the literature
INTRODUCTION Aneurysms in the vertebrobasilar system are rare and in the distal segment of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery they are even less frequent. Giant aneurysms are also rare in the posterior cranial fossa. Giant aneurysms of the distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery generally can have mainly compressive effects on the adjacent structures and they can be mistaken for tumor...
