title: The posterior inferior cerebellar artery originating from the internal carotid artery, associated with multiple aneurysms.
abstract: We report the rare case of ipsilateral posterior inferior cerebellar artery originating from the carotid artery, and associated with multiple concurrent aneurysms. This is the 23rd reported case of carotid-cerebellar anastomosis and the first case with three concurrent aneurysms reported in the literature. Of the 23 cases, 6 had single aneurysms, 2 had double aneurysms and the present case had triple aneurysms.
