Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Thrombosed Aneurysm Associated with Persistent Primitive Hypoglossal Artery Successfully Treated with Condylar Fossa Approach.

A 68-year-old woman presented with generalized seizure due to the left internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysmal compression of the ipsilateral medial temporal lobe. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed multiple aneurysms of the right persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA), the right ICA, and the right anterior cerebral artery (ACA). The right PPHA originated from the ICA at the level of the C1 and C2 vertebral bodies and passed through the hypoglossal canal (HC).
