Subject Posterior Fossa Aneurysm; Intracranial Aneurysm; Unilateral Sixth Nerve Paresis; Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery; Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Description Posterior fossa aneurysms comprise a minority of intracranial aneurysms, but produce a wide array of signs and symptoms. We report a patient with slowly progressive unilateral sixth nerve paresis secondary to a saccular aneurysm of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Neuroradiologic investigation of subarachnoid hemorrhage is discussed, and the literature concerning posterior circulation aneurysms reviewed.
