ResumoReport is made of the investigation of a patient suspected of having a vascular lesion in the posterior fossa. Pneumo-encephalographic and angiographic studies showed this to be an ectatic basilar artery with 'berry' aneurysm formation at its bifurcation deforming the floor of the third ventricle. The literature on cerebral artery ectasia has been reviewed. The association of basilar artery ectasia with 'berry' aneurysm formation does not appear to have been previously reported.
