title: A case of superficial recurrent ophthalmic artery supplying an infratentorial vascular tumour.
abstract: We present a case of ophthalmic artery contribution to a posterior fossa vascular tumour by the superficial recurrent ophthalmic artery. This branch arises from the second portion of the ophthalmic artery and is rarely seen on angiography. We review the anatomy and embryology of this arterial variant. Furthermore, this case illustrates the capacity of the ophthalmic artery to supply posterior fossa neoplasms.
