Anterior inferior cerebellar artery loop (Type III)

Discussion:

A good case demonstrating a Chavda type III1 vascular loop of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery into the right IAC.

Despite this finding, there is conflicting evidence as to whether it is causative of a patient's symptoms and therefore is likely an incidental finding1,2.

The main treatment option for suspected symptomatic vascular loop cases is microvascular compression, with a success rate as high as 80% 3.
