Aneurysm of the internal auditory artery revealed by a partial cerebellopontine angle syndrome.
A case of aneurysm of the distal portion of the middle cerebellar artery is described. The aneurysm was clipped and, as the neck was long, removed. The case is of interest not only because of its rarity but also because of the unusual course of the symptoms, the difficulty of identifying and locating the malformation, overcome with the aid of modern radiological techniques, and because of the success of surgical treatment.
