Excerpt

The persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA) is rare with an incidence ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 % and accounts for approximately 80–85 % of persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis [1]. Studies cited in the literature indicate that aneurysms may be associated with nearly 14 % of all PPTA cases, and may occur in a PPTA itself in 2 % of cases [2]. In addition, the prevalence of a PPTA in patients presenting with trigeminal neuralgia was reported as 2.2 % [3]. Our patient had both rare conditions, aneurysm formation at origin of PPTA and clinical presentation with trigeminal neuralgia. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to illustrate successful treatment of a PPTA aneurysm by endovascular obliteration with a covered stent. …
