Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms often require cerebral vascular reconstruction for surgical treatment because of their characteristic morphology. Despite its potential complications, the occipital artery-to-posterior inferior cerebellar artery (OA-PICA) bypass is a typical treatment because of its versatility. Although a few cases of intracranial-to-intracranial bypass have been reported, this type of vascular reconstruction is only regarded as an alternative to the OA-PICA bypass because of the uncertainty of bypass feasibility and potential risk of ischemic complications. In this article, we report a case of proximal PICA ruptured aneurysm that was treated with a PICA-to-PICA (PICA-PICA) bypass. A 79-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of sudden, severe headache and disturbances in consciousness. Radiological examination revealed a right proximal PICA fusiform aneurysm. The patient had many systemic disorders such as microscopic polyangiitis and steroid-induced diabetes mellitus that could have caused wound dehiscence and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. We performed the PICA-PICA bypass and trapping surgery rather than the OA-PICA bypass to avoid skin problems and CSF leakage. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on day 64 without any neurological disorders. In comparison with the OA-PICA bypass, the PICA-PICA bypass is less likely to cause CSF leakage and skin complications, although it carries the risk of specific ischemic complications and requires advanced surgical techniques. For some patients with systemic disorders, the PICA-PICA bypass could be an optimal treatment option for proximal fusiform PICA aneurysms rather than as an alternative to the OA-PICA bypass.
