Abstract

A case of ruptured aneurysm of the distal PICA presenting with isolated intraventricular hemorrhage is presented. The diagnosis of distal PICA aneurysm should be considered if isolated intraventricular hematoma is found without obvious parenchymal hemorrhage or subarachnoid blood in the basal cisterns. Complete vertebral arteriography is a requiste for the recognition of this condition. The outcome in patients with these aneurysms should be good if surgical repair is performed before rebleeding occurs.
