Abstract
Herein, we report three cases of cerebellar hemorrhage due to a ruptured small aneurysm located on a collateral artery compensating for one or more stenotic or occluded major cerebellar arteries. In each case, endovascular distant parent artery occlusion of both the collateral artery and aneurysm was performed to prevent rebleeding. A ruptured small aneurysm in a collateral artery may be observed in patients with hemorrhage in an atypical cerebellar region, especially in cases of stenosis or occlusion of the vertebral artery or posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Thus, cerebral angiography is recommended to rule out collateral artery aneurysm.
