Dissecting anterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm treated by endovascular route: report of three cases and review
Year: 2010
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Among the major arteries of the posterior fossa, the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) is the least likely to harbor an aneurysm, being a very rare pathology. Only two AICA aneurysms were found in 7,933 lesions1. In the presence of a high flow lesion, aneurysms tend to occur more commonly in the feeding arteries. These flow-related aneurysms in the posterior fossa can be found mainly associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVM) or hemangioblastomas, which represents the majority of AICA aneurysms reported2,3.
