Intractable Hiccups Due to Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is the third reported case of a posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm presenting as intractable hiccups (IH). A previously healthy 29-year-old woman was admitted with a 2-week history of hiccups occurring >100 times per minute. Symptoms persisted despite numerous noninvasive therapies. Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiogram of the brain showed a left PICA aneurysm that was confirmed by catheter angiography. Symptoms resolved following suboccipital craniotomy and resection. Although rare, PICA aneurysm is a potentially curable cause of IH.

We previously reported an unusual case of bilateral posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA)-anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) anastomosis associate with a ruptured aneurysm. Moreover, also this case had segmental absence of both distal vertebral arteries (VA). During the 7 to 12 mm embryonic stage, the basilar artery is formed by fusion of the longitudinal neural arteries. The VAs ...

BACKGROUND A distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) de novo aneurysm at the cortical segment after atherosclerotic basilar artery occlusion is extremely rare. Here, we report the case of a ruptured distal PICA de novo aneurysm 8 years after basilar artery occlusion. CASE DESCRIPTION A 75-year-old man experienced sudden disturbance of consciousness; computed tomography demonstrated...

I read with great interest the article by Tikkakoski et al (1) describing their treatment of an isolated dissecting aneurysm of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery with Guglielni detachable coils (GDCs). I would like to draw the authors’ attention to two additional articles relating to this subject. One article published in the Journal of Neurosurgery was a case report of an isolated ...
