Distal Aneurysms of Cerebellar Arteries—Case Series
(1) Background: Distal aneurysms of cerebellar arteries are very rare. The authors report their case series of distal aneurysms of the cerebellar arteries solved successfully by microsurgery or by endovascular treatment (Table 1) (2) Materials and Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2020, 346 an...

description | (1) Background: Distal aneurysms of cerebellar arteries are very rare. The authors report their case series of distal aneurysms of the cerebellar arteries solved successfully by microsurgery or by endovascular treatment (Table 1) (2) Materials and Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2020, 346 aneurysms were treated in our institution. Eleven aneurysms in seven patients were located on distal cerebellar arteries and, in three patients, the aneurysms were combined with arteriovenous malformations. There were four women and three men, ranging from 50 to 72 years of age. Five patients presented with different grades of subarachnoid hemorrhage or intraventricular bleeding, and two patients were diagnosed because of headache. Aneurysm location was the posterior inferior cerebellar artery in six cases, the superior cerebellar artery in three cases, and the anterior inferior cerebellar artery in 2 cases. One patient had three aneurysms, and two patients had two aneurysms. (3) Results: Nine aneurysms were treated by microsurgery trapping or clipping and, in two patients, the associated arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was resected. Two aneurysms were treated by endovascular coiling, and one associated AVM was successfully embolized. Clinical follow-up was a mean of 11.5 months (range, 3–45 months). (4) Conclusion: The authors present their experience with the treatment of 11 peripheral aneurysms on distal branches of the cerebellar circulation in seven patients which were excluded from circulation by microsurgery or endovascular treatment. In three patients, the associated AVM was treated (two with microsurgery, one with embolization). |
