Abstract
- Background: Double origin of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (DOPICA) is a rare cranial imaging finding with an incidence of 0.36-6% reported in various retrospective studies. Aneurysms on a DOPICA are even rarer.<br />Case Description: A 34-year-old women hospitalised for subarachnoid haemorrhage showed a ruptured aneurysm arising from the caudal channel of the DOPICA. Endovascular treatment was selected, and the aneurysm was successfully and completely embolised using two coils.<br />Conclusions: To date, a total of three previous saccular aneurysms of the DOPICA itself have been reported, all of which were treated using endovascular methods. Our case is the first report of a ruptured saccular aneurysm arising from the non-branching segment of the caudal channel of the DOPICA.
