  • Title: Retrograde back-coiling technique for a ruptured aneurysm of a double-origin posterior inferior cerebellar artery.
    Author: Vora N, Thomas AJ, Horowitz MB, Jovin T.
    Journal: J Neuroimaging; 2009 Jan; 19(1):65-7. PubMed ID: 18795990.
    Abstract:
    The double origin of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) is a variant anastomosis of a residual lateral spinal artery and native intracranial PICA that has been associated with intracranial aneurysm formation. Because of this anastomosis, both origins of the PICA serve as aneurysmal-feeding vessels. We describe a novel technique of coiling with intracranial stent assistance to treat such a lesion that has not been described previously to our review.
