Extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery mimicking an aneurysm

BACKGROUND: An extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery is a rare anomaly. We report a case of an extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery mimicking an aneurysm. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 77-year-old woman was initially diagnosed with unruptured cerebral aneurysm at the right basilar artery-supe...

description BACKGROUND: An extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery is a rare anomaly. We report a case of an extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery mimicking an aneurysm. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 77-year-old woman was initially diagnosed with unruptured cerebral aneurysm at the right basilar artery-superior cerebellar artery junction by magnetic resonance angiography. Catheter angiogram revealed that there was no apparent aneurysm at the basilar artery-superior cerebellar artery junction and the lesion was actually an extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery. CONCLUSION: Although an extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery is rare, it should be considered when examining other vascular lesions.
