    The authors present a case of 68-year-old male with an incidental right PICA aneurysm diagnosed during the workup of left-sided tinnitus. Neurological examination was unremarkable. Computed tomography angiogram and digital subtraction angiography depicted a right complex lateral medullary segment PICA aneurysm. He underwent a right far lateral approach for PICA to vertebral artery in situ re-implantation bypass with clipping of the PICA takeoff. The patient tolerated the procedure well and he was discharged home.
