Variant PTA Terminating in Cerebellar Artery, Associated with Multiple Aneurysms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) is one of the remnant fetal anastomoses between the carotid artery and basilar artery. PTAs are classified according to angiographic appearance and various connection. Among them, those directly terminating in the cerebellar arteries are rare subtype. In addition, aneurysms of the PTA are unusual in the literature and have not previously accompanied this subtype of PTA connecting cerebellar artery. We present the first case of an aneurysm of the PTA which is directly terminating in the cerebellar arteries and combined with multiple aneurysms.

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...

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...

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 ...
