The artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger is a tentorial branch of the superior cerebellar artery: due to its small diameter, it is not usually seen in normal angiograms except when enlarged in the setting of a dural AVF or tentorial meningioma. Its presence has been rarely described in the Literature.
herein we describe the first ever reported case of a vermian subtentorial arteriovenous malformation supplied by the artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger in 70 year old female patient.
vermian subtentorial AVMs supplied by the artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger are extremely rare vascular malformations. The presence of the artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger must be carefully evaluated during preoperative surgical planning due to its key role in the supply of vascular malformation and to decrease the risk of intra operative bleeding during surgery.
沃尔斯莱格动脉是小脑上动脉的幕枝：由于其直径较小，除在硬脑膜动静脉畸形或天幕脑膜瘤的情况下增大外，通常在正常血管造影中看不到。其在文献中的描述很少见。
本文描述了首例由沃尔斯莱格动脉供应的 70 岁女性患者的小脑幕下后矢状窦动静脉畸形。
由沃尔斯莱格动脉供应的小脑幕下后矢状窦动静脉畸形是极为罕见的血管畸形。由于沃尔斯莱格动脉在血管畸形的供应中起着关键作用，并降低手术过程中术中出血的风险，因此在术前手术计划中必须仔细评估沃尔斯莱格动脉的存在。
