Summary

Twelve cases of aneurysm of the PICA are reported, the clinical histories summarized and the radiological evaluations reviewed. The importance of using subtraction techniques and of employing various special projections for adequate assessment of the anatomical relationship of the aneurysm to vital structures have been discussed.

Résumé

Les auteurs rapportent 12 cas d'anévrysmes de l'artère cérébelleuse postéro-inférieure, en résument les tableaux cliniques et en revoient les données radiologiques. Ils discutent de l'importance de l'utilisation de la technique de soustraction et de la réalisation de diverses projections spéciales visant à mettre en évidence les rapports anatomiques de l'anévrysme avec les structures vitales.
