Abstract

We report a case of persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) with a cerebellar branch supplying the posterior inferior cerebellar arterial territory, combined with a trigeminal-cavernous fistula resulting from rupture of an aneurysm at proximal trunk of the PTA. The fistula was successfully treated by transarterial coil embolization with preservation of PTA.
