A case with coil embolization for ruptured aneurysm associated with fenestration of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Interv Neuroradiol. 2017 Jan 01;:1591019917729365 Authors: Maeda K, Motoie R, Karashima S, Otsuji R, Ren N, Nagaoka S, Ikai Y, Uno J, Gi H Abstract An 87-year-old man hospitalized for subarachnoid hemorrhage showed a ruptured aneurysm arising from fenestration of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Endovascular treatment was selected and the aneurysm and superior limb were embolized completely using three coils. Fenestration of the posterior cerebellar artery is exceedingly rare. In addition, we present a first case of aneurysm as fenestration of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery that was definitively identified as a cause of bleeding.
