Fusiform Superior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Treated with Endovascular Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
An aneurysm of the distal superior cerebellar artery (SCA) is a highly rare disease. Fusiform aneurysms of the distal SCA are particularly challenging to treat. Clipping, trapping with or without bypass using microsurgery or endovascular treatment (EVT) were used to treat this condition. We describe the case of fusiform distal SCA aneurysms treated successfully with endovascular coiling with a 3-month follow-up. A 39 year-old male was presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and a 15 mm fusiform aneurysm of the ambient segment of the left distal SCA. EVT for parent artery occlusion and packing of the aneurysm was done. Left sixth nerve palsy appeared after 1 day of EVT. The symptom completely recovered within 1 week of the post-procedural period. No neurological deficit was seen during the clinical 3-month follow-up. EVT of fusiform distal SCA aneurysms with coils is a safe and feasible option to manage this rare condition. However, the treatment options must be carefully selected depending on the neurologic condition, development of collateral circulation, and configuration of the dissection.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distally located cerebral aneurysms are difficult to treat with preservation of the parent vessel. We report the angiographic results and clinical outcome for 27 patients with peripheral cerebral aneurysms. METHODS From January 2000 to June 2005, 27 patients, 13 female and 14 male, presented to our institution with peripheral intracranial aneurysms and were treated endo...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of a dissecting aneurysm of the superior cerebellar artery: case report
Dissecting aneurysm located in the peripheral region of the superior cerebellar artery is very rare. There is little experience regarding their surgical or endovascular treatment. We present the case of a peripheral dissecting superior cerebellar artery aneurysm treated by surgical clipping.
متن کاملEndovascular therapeutic approach to peripheral aneurysms of the superior cerebellar artery.
Peripheral aneurysms of the superior cerebellar artery may be difficult to treat surgically owing to their inaccessibility and to the frequent inability to preserve the involved parent artery. In fact, for most cases, surgical treatment consists of proximal parent artery occlusion and/or trapping with surgical clips. An equivalent endovascular therapeutic approach to these lesions may be an att...

Aneurysms located on the bailar superior cerebellar artery (SCA) junction are very rare. Endovascular coiling is a safe and feasible treatment option for these challenging cases regardless of the narrow operative field, their intimate relationship to perforating vessels and cranial nerves, which results in high morbidity and mortality rates during clipping. From Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2014, we treat...
