A rare persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PHA) aneurysm was successfully clipped in a 62-year-old woman. Advanced imaging and surgical simulation aided the transcondylar approach, ensuring no neurological deficits post-operation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Aneurysms originating from a persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PHA) are exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases.
  • The vertebrobasilar junction is a critical area for cerebrovascular supply.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman presented with transient loss of consciousness and headaches.
  • Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed an aneurysm at the vertebrobasilar junction.
  • Cerebral angiography confirmed the aneurysm arose from the PHA at its junction with the basilar artery.

Findings:

  • The aneurysm was successfully clipped using a transcondylar surgical approach.
  • Preoperative 3D-Computed Tomography Angiography (3D-CTA) and 3D T2-weighted MRI were instrumental in surgical planning.

  • The patient experienced no neurological deficits following the procedure.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the utility of advanced imaging techniques like 3D-CTA and MRI in managing rare vascular anomalies.
    • Successful surgical intervention for PHA aneurysms is achievable, even with complex anatomy.
    • The transcondylar approach offers a viable surgical option for aneurysms in this region.
