Dissecting aneurysms of the basilar artery in 2 patients.

چکیده
An uncommon consequence of intracranial vascular disease is the intramural dissection of blood or "dissecting aneurysm". A 69-year-old man with chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage from a posterior fossa mass lesion and a 30-year-old man with migraine and a brain stem stroke illustrate the diverse etiologic, clinical, radiographic, and pathologic characteristics of this unusual lesion.

Ruptured dissecting aneurysms arising from non-vertebral arteries of the posterior circulation: endovascular treatment perspective.
PURPOSE Most intracranial dissecting aneurysms involve the posterior circulation, and the intradural segment of the vertebral artery is affected in majority of these. The aim of this report is to summarize the results of endovascular treatment in patients with ruptured dissecting aneurysms of the non-vertebral posterior circulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS During the past six years, the medical...
متن کاملSpontaneous Occlusion of a Large Fusiform Basilar Artery Dissecting Aneurysm in a Child Complicated with Brainstem Infarction: a case report
Basilar artery dissecting aneurysms, although very rare in children, may be associated with severe morbidity and mortality. The management of these vascular lesions depends on clinical presentation of patients. Large fusiform vertebro-basilar dissecting aneurysms are exceedingly rare and can exert mass effect on the brainstem and cerebellum. We herein report the neuroimaging findings, including...
متن کاملNatural history and management of basilar trunk artery aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Basilar trunk aneurysms (BTAs), defined as aneurysms distal to the basilar origin and proximal to the origin of the superior cerebellar artery, are rare and challenging to manage. We describe the natural history and management in a consecutive series of BTAs. METHODS Between 2000 and 2013, 2522 patients with 3238 aneurysms were referred to our institution for aneurysm m...
متن کاملStent-assisted Coiling for Ruptured Basilar Artery Dissecting Aneurysms: An Initial Experience of Four Cases
No treatment strategy has been established for subarachnoid hemorrhages due to basilar artery (BA) trunk dissecting aneurysms. Our aim was to report our initial experience performing stent-assisted coiling (SAC) for ruptured BA dissecting aneurysms to validate the effectiveness of this treatment. We experienced four consecutive cases of ruptured dissecting BA trunk aneurysm treated with SAC bet...
متن کاملReconstructive endovascular treatment of fusiform and dissecting basilar trunk aneurysms with flow diverters, stents, and coils.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with fusiform basilar trunk aneurysms have a poor prognosis. Reconstructive endovascular therapy is possible with modern devices. We describe the clinical presentation, radiologic features, and clinical outcome of 13 patients with fusiform basilar trunk aneurysms treated with flow diverters, stents, and coils. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the 13 patients, 7 were me...
