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...

Intracranial aneurysm in paediatric age group is rare and association of the aneurysm with congenital vertebral artery anomaly is further rarer. We describe such a case in an 11-year-old male patient who consulted a paediatrician about headache and vertigo, and a noncontrast CT (NCCT) head revealed peripherally calcified hyperdense mass in prepontine and basal cisterns. Magnetic resonance imagi...

OBJECTIVE Isolated accessory nerve palsy due to intracranial disorders is uncommon because intracranial accessory nerve injury usually occurs in case of a skull base tumor or trauma, resulting in one of multiple cranial nerve palsies. We report a very rare case of isolated accessory nerve palsy due to a large thrombosed aneurysm of the intracranial vertebral artery. Full recovery was achieved a...

I read with interest the review article by Drs van Rooij and Sluzewski and have some comments. Despite their goal to review therapeutic strategies for large and giant aneurysms, they ignored or had few comments regarding their growth mechanisms, which are essential in deciding appropriate treatment. Our knowledge of intracranial aneurysms has evolved from considering them as a focal and intralu...

Objective: This study aimed to report our clinical experience with the treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms primary suture technique. Materials-methods: Thirty patients treated diagnosis pseudoaneurysm in artery between September 2015 and August 2020 participated Non-iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms, aneurysms smaller than 4 cm, thrombosed were excluded. All diagnosed by ultrasonography co...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Giant/large peripheral cerebral aneurysms beyond the circle of Willis and middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation are rare lesions, their etiopathogenesis is not completely elucidated, and their treatment is often difficult. We reviewed the etiopathologic findings available in the literature and report the results and long-term follow-up in 10 patients with a giant/large...

Coexistence of aortic coarctation with aneurysm of subclavian artery is a uncommon situation and may require unusual treatment in patients. A 40-year-old patient diagnosed incidentally with left subclavian artery aneurysm coexisting with aortic coarctation. Patient was initially referred for hybrid treatment. Initially ostium of the left subclavian artery was covered with a stent-graft. Over a ...

Complete spontaneous thrombosis followed by recanalization of non-giant aneurysms is a rare event that can be discovered incidentally on advanced neural images. In this case report, the authors described a woman who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) territory ischemic stroke. Cerebral angiography revealed a left PCA aneurysm at the P1-P2 junct...

Although apoplexy and cystic formation are common inside the pituitary adenoma and hemorrhage with different times of occurrence as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging sequences can be seen within a pituitary macroadenoma, a classic saccular aneurysm and its association with carotid artery haven’t been yet reported. Case: A 52 years old woman was referred for visual loss and headache accompa...
