An isolated progressive dissecting aneurysm of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) associated with a persistent trigeminal artery was successfully treated by endovascular occlusion of the proximal PICA with a Guglielmi detachable coil.

A 42-year-old man with left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) infarction presented with akinetic mutism and cognitive impairment. Initially he suffered from akinetic mutism and MRI-documented infarction in the distribution of the left PICA. Twelve days later he developed cognitive impairment. Neuropsychological tests were performed, with the results corrected for age and education bei...

On a farm in Slovenia two cows died overnight without any previous signs of disease. The cows were fed green forage, containing a big portion of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) at least for four consecutive days. Poisoning with this plant was suspected. Pathomorphological changes established by the necropsy of both cows confirmed the suspi-

Endovascular coil embolization of arterial aneurysms is often complicated by reduced blood flow to branching arteries. To determine the optimal coil configuration for safe embolization of endovascular aneurysms without compromising blood flow in branching arteries. A 3-dimensional voxel model, built based on an unruptured vertebral artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery (VA-PICA) aneurysm,...

Significant differences (P = 0.05) in nematode reproduction were observed among populations of Heterodera schachtii and weed collections of black nightshade, common lambsquarters, common purslane, redroot-pigweed, shepherdspurse, and wild mustard from Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. Colorado weeds supported the greatest nematode development (P = 0.05). Weeds collected from Idaho and Utah wer...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Surgical treatment of VA-PICA dissecting aneurysms is difficult and complication of LCNP is common. These lesions can be approached easily with endovascular technique, but complete obliteration can only be achieved in a small number of cases. Our aim was to report the clinical outcomes of VA-PICA dissecting aneurysms treated by endovascular embolization. MATERIALS AND M...

A 57-year-old man presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery close to the origin of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). The aneurysm was treated successfully with two fenestrated clips preserving the efferent artery with anterograde blood flow without PICA anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful. Postoperative angiogr...
