title: Clipping of distal superior cerebellar artery aneurysm with preservation of the parent vessel: a case report.
abstract: A 29-year-old male presented with subarachnoid haemorrhage and a diagnosis of a ruptured distal superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysm. The distal SCA harboured perforators to the brainstem; electrophysiological changes during temporary clipping proved the need for surgical clipping over endovascular occlusion. Successful clipping without distal occlusion was performed.
