The double origin of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) is a variant anastomosis of a residual lateral spinal artery and native intracranial PICA that has been associated with intracranial aneurysm formation. Because of this anastomosis, both origins of the PICA serve as aneurysmal‐feeding vessels. We describe a novel technique of coiling with intracranial stent assistance to treat such a lesion that has not been described previously to our review.
