[Saccular aneurysm arising from the basilar artery fenestration: a case report]. 1986

This patient, 29-year-old female, had an attack of subarachnoid hemorrhage. On admission a cerebral angiogram showed a saccular aneurysm arising from the proximal origin of the fenestrated basilar artery (Fig. 1). The aneurysm was clipped successfully with two steps under a right retromastoidal suboccipital craniectomy (Fig. 2). Association of the fenestrated basilar artery and saccular aneurysm is rare. To our knowledge, 9 cases have been found in the literature and only 4 cases were operated. The authors discussed the pathogenesis and treatment of such aneurysms.

D012039 Regional Blood Flow The flow of BLOOD through or around an organ or region of the body. Blood Flow, Regional,Blood Flows, Regional,Flow, Regional Blood,Flows, Regional Blood,Regional Blood Flows
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
