Abstract
We describe three patients with aneurysms arising from the superior cerebellar artery
feeding an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the posterior fossa. In one patient
the aneurysms resolved following thrombosis of the AVM, suggesting that high flow
through the feeding vessel is an etiological factor for aneurysm development. The
usual presentation is subarachnoid hemorrhage but the outcome of surgical treatment
of these lesions is often poor, suggesting an increasing role for interventional neuroradiology
in the future.
