Basilar artery aneurysm treated with coil embolization via persistent primitive hypoglossal artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A saccular aneurysm at the basilar artery bifurcation associated with a persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA) was successfully treated by endovascular occlusion with Guglielmi detachable coils. As both vertebral arteries were aplasitc, a microcatheter was advanced via PPHA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing the treatment of a basilar top aneurysm through the PPHA.

Persistent primitive hypoglossal artery associated with lower basilar artery aneurysm: diagnosis and clinical implications.
An elderly male was evaluated for subarachnoid hemorrhage and found to have a persistent primitive hypoglossal artery with its associated abnormal posterior fossa circulation and a lower basilar artery aneurysm. Angiography findings are described and are corroborated with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Its surgical and clinical relevance are discussed.
متن کاملResolution of trigeminal neuralgia by coil embolization of a persistent primitive trigeminal artery aneurysm.
The persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PTA) is a rare anastomosis between the carotid artery and basilar artery. While most PTAs are asymptomatic, lateral variants can occasionally compress the trigeminal nerve and precipitate trigeminal neuralgia. Aneurysms of the PTA are exceptionally rare in the literature and have not previously been associated with trigeminal neuralgia. We present the...

common internal carotid artery (ICA) -basilar artery anastomosis with an incidence between 0.1% and 0.3% (1). Anomalous cerebellar artery originating from the PTA has rarely been reported (2, 3). Rarely when an aneurysm is combined and ruptures into the cavernous sinus, spontaneous trigeminal-cavernous fistula can develop, which is usually treated by transarterial detachable balloon embolizatio...

to treat with endovascular embolization. Balloon remodeling and stent-assisted coil embolization have been increasingly available therapeutic strategy in the treatment of these complex lesions (1-3). To our knowledge, there are a few papers that wide-necked basilar bifurcation aneurysms were treated with the Yconfigured dual stent assisted coil embolization (4-6). But all patients were unruptur...

We report here on a rare case of a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm that was successfully treated with coil embolization in the bilateral cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusions with abnormal vascular networks from the posterior circulation. A 43-year old man with a familial history of moyamoya disease presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiography demonstrated c...
