✓ A spontaneous cavernous sinus fistula developed following presumed sinusitis, and was found to originate not from the carotid artery but from a persistent trigeminal artery. The fistula was treated by introducing a detachable latex balloon via a femoral artery approach through the trigeminal artery and then into the cavernous sinus. Flow through the carotid, vertebral, and trigeminal arteries was preserved.

✓ The case is reported of a 60-year-old woman with left-sided trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and hypertension. Compression of the left trigeminal, facial, and vagus nerves by the anterior and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries and a persistent trigeminal artery variant were demonstrated by magnetic resonance angiography using a novel sequence. At operation the angiographic appearances were confirmed, and decompression was performed with the placement of polyvinyl sponge at all three levels. Postoperatively, the patient had complete relief from the trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm and has sustained normotension without medication.

✓ A case is reported of persistent trigeminal artery producing intermittent facial pain, the last episode being associated with diplopia. The trigeminal and abducent nerves were attached to the trigeminal artery by a congenital membrane. Blood supply to the vertebrobasilar system was via the persistent vessel. A new operative approach along the petrous-temporal ridge is described.

Saccular Aneurysms

Object. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of cerebral saccular aneurysms in patients with persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA). The prevalence of cerebral saccular aneurysms in patients with PPTA previously has been reported to be 14 to 32%, but this rate range is unreliable because it is based on collections of published case reports rather than a series of patients chosen in an unbiased manner.Methods. The authors retrospectively evaluated their own series of 34 patients with PPTA to determine the prevalence of cerebral aneurysms in this population. The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in patients with PPTA was approximately 3% (95% confidence interval 0–9%).Conclusions. The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in patients with PPTA is no greater than the prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in the general population.
