[Aneurysm of the distal portion of the posterior and inferior cerebellar artery in a child]. / Aneurisma da porção distal da artéria cerebelar posterior e inferior em criança.

The case of a 7-year-old boy presenting with recurrent episodes of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a distal posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm (PICA), successfully operated, is reported.

The theories regarding the origin of intracranial berry aneurysms are discussed.
