We report a case of an extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery mimicking an aneurysm. Case Description: A 77-year-old woman was initially diagnosed with unruptured cerebral aneurysm at the right basilar artery-superior cerebellar artery junction by magnetic resonance angiography. Catheter angiogram revealed that there was no apparent aneurysm at the basilar artery-superior cerebellar artery junction and the lesion was actually an extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery. Conclusion: Although an extremely tortuous superior cerebellar artery is rare, it should be considered when examining other vascular lesions.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/28fa0a8a-b62f-4308-bdc7-b55426a1ea87/featured/hero-1781561819604.png","publishDate":"2021-11-23T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_864_2021","categories":["Neurovascular","Image Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/28fa0a8a-b62f-4308-bdc7-b55426a1ea87/pdf"}
