الوصف: Anterior inferior cerebellar artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA-PICA) variant is a well-established variant of the vertebrobasilar system. AICA-PICA aneurysms are extremely rare. 1-3 There are only 12 cases reported in the literature. 1-3 Here, we are presenting a case of a previously ruptured AICA-PICA dissecting aneurysm which had undergone coil embolization twice at an outside institution. The aneurysm continued to grow, and therefore, the patient was transferred to our institution for definitive treatment. Placement of a flow diverter was felt not to be feasible because of the acute bend of the vessel at the neck of the aneurysm. After a retrosigmoid craniotomy, the aneurysm sac was opened to untether the coil mass from the neck of the aneurysm. Clip reconstruction was attempted but intraoperative blood flow measurements demonstrated no flow in the distal outflow artery, indicating that the clip was occluding the parent vessel at the neck because of the challenging geometry and atherosclerosis. We then proceeded with an excision and end-to-end anastomosis of the AICA-PICA. The details of vascular reconstruction while the inflow and outflow arteries are at acute angle are described. Intraoperative indocyanine video angiography demonstrated complete exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation and patency of the bypass. Postoperative computed tomography angiography demonstrated bypass patency. Postoperatively, the patient required a temporary external ventricular drain for hydrocephalus; however, she was eventually discharged home without any neurological deficits. The patient gave informed consent for the surgery and video recording. Institutional Review Board approval was deemed unnecessary.
