Surg Neurol. 1984 Mar;21(3):231-5. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(84)90192-7.

Abstract

An aneurysm of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery extending into the internal auditory meatus is reported. The patient developed headache and vomiting caused by a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and rapidly showed signs and symptoms of a lesion in the cerebellopontine angle soon after the onset. At operation, a clip was successfully applied to the neck of the aneurysm. The characteristic clinical findings are briefly reviewed.
