  • Title: Anterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm, carotid bifurcation aneurysm, and dural arteriovenous malformation of the tentorium in the same patient.
    Author: Kaech D, de Tribolet N, Lasjaunias P.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1987 Oct; 21(4):575-82. PubMed ID: 3683797.
    Abstract:
    An exceptional combination of intracranial vascular malformations is reported: distal anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) aneurysm, carotid bifurcation aneurysm, and dural arteriovenous malformation (DAVM) of the tentorium. The AICA aneurysm was the source of recurrent subarachnoid and cerebellar hemorrhage, revealed only after repeated vertebral angiography. After external drainage of associated hydrocephalus, both aneurysms were successfully clipped and the dural malformation was subtotally embolized. The literature concerning AICA aneurysms, DAVMs, and combined intracranial vascular malformations is reviewed and discussed.
