Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Shaped Like a "Calabash Gourd" and Mimicking a Tumor

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms are likely to be fusiform, yet they hardly enlarge to mimic a tumor in the posterior fossa on radiology. They constitute about 3%-4% of all cerebral aneurysms. A 65-year-old woman presented with tremor in her right upper limb for 1 year and intermittent dizziness for 8 months. Interestingly, magnetic resonance imaging revealed 2 unanimously enhanced masses like mother and daughter located in the right cerebellum hemisphere. The lesion was resected via surgery, and histopathology established the diagnosis of an aneurysm. Her tremor and dizziness subsided 3 months after the surgery, and at her 2-year follow-up she was well with no further neurologic deficits.
