A "PICA communicating artery" aneurysm: case report

M L Hlavin et al. Neurosurgery. 1991 Dec.

Abstract

We present an unusual case of an aneurysm of the distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). The aneurysm was associated with a unilateral PICA that supplied both cerebellar hemispheres and arose from an anastomotic vessel to the contralateral circulation, a branch of the contralateral PICA. Such an aneurysm has not been reported previously. The associated of vascular anomalies with aneurysms of the PICA is discussed.
