Abstract
- The association between intracranial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is well documented. A previously published series suggested that between 2.7% and 17.6% of patients with AVM have an associated with aneurysms. Recent advances in the understanding of the hemodynamics of this association encourage an aggressive approach to these aneurysms. However, in posterior fossa their pathophysiology is not fully understood and strategies for their management have not been established. We report upon three cases of posterior cranial fossa AVM associated with posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms, and include pertinent literatures regarding of the pathophysiology of these combined lesions, their clinical presentations, and strategies of treatment.
