Spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery is uncommon, and simultaneous onset of multiple dissecting aneurysms is rare in patients without congenital or traumatic risk factors. A few reports suggest that extracranial internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysms can grow after SAH due to another intracranial dissecting aneurysm. The present report describes two ...

The incidence of basilar artery fenestration is approximately 0.6% in angiographic studies and more in autopsy studies [1]. The most common site of basilar artery fenestration is proximal part [2]. Basilar artery fenestration aneurysms are very rare, posing unique challenges. Reported incidence of aneurysm at basilar artery fenestration site is 7% [3]. Surgical treatment of such aneurysm is usu...
