Resolution of persistent trigeminal artery aneurysm by coil embolization

A 59-year-old man who denied a history of trauma presented with left pulsatile tinnitus and left orbital swelling for six months. Digital subtraction angiography showed a left persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) with a trigeminal artery to cavernous sinus (trigeminal-cavernous sinus) fistula and a right PTA. Transarterial detachable coil embolization of the left trigeminal-cavernous sinus fistula was performed, and the symptoms subsided. There has been no report of bilateral PTAs with a spontaneous fistula connected from one PTA to the ipsilateral cavernous sinus. This paper reports such a rare circumstance.

✓ The angiographic demonstration of a rare case of persistent trigeminal artery aneurysm is reported. The incidence of persistent trigeminal artery in the authors' series is 0.6%. Approximately 14% of patients with a persistent trigeminal artery also have an intracranial aneurysm. The embryology involved and related cases are reviewed.
