Endovascular treatment of giant serpentine aneurysms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Giant serpentine aneurysms are fusiform partially thrombosed aneurysms with a separate outflow tract to normal distal cerebral vessels. Three patients with giant serpentine aneurysms of the anterior and middle cerebral arteries were treated with endovascular occlusion of the aneurysmal lumen with coils or glue after balloon test occlusion of the involved vessel. In all 3 patients, leptomeningeal collateral circulation was sufficient to prevent distal ischemia.

PURPOSE To describe the characteristic CT, MR, and angiographic features of giant serpentine aneurysms and discuss their endovascular treatment. METHODS Thirteen patients with giant serpentine aneurysms were studied at our institution in the last 3 years. They all underwent CT and MR studies as well as cerebral angiography. More recently, some of the patients were studied with MR angiography....
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment of Giant Serpentine Aneurysm of the Middle Cerebral Artery
Giant serpentine aneurysms are uncommon types of aneurysmal disease and have angiographically authentic features. We report a case of a 44-year-old male with headache and seizure. He presented a giant serpentine aneurysm arising from the middle cerebral artery (MCA). It was a large intracranial aneurysm thrombosed as a mass-like lesion while it maintained its outflow drainage into the distal MC...

Previous reports of outcome after endovascular treatment of posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms have been limited. This study aimed to describe the clinical outcome and angiographic results obtained in the endovascular therapy of PCA aneurysm over a six year period. Endovascular treatment strategies were determined. A retrospective analysis was performed on 18 patients with PCA aneurysms ...
متن کاملAneurysms of the posterior cerebral artery: classification and endovascular treatment.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We present a retrospective review of our experience in the endovascular treatment of posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms. We detail the anatomic location of these aneurysms, the technique of endovascular treatment, morphologic results, and clinical outcome. We also discuss the segmental anatomy of the PCA as it relates to the various neurologic deficits that may res...
متن کاملGiant serpentine aneurysms: a review and presentation of five cases.
We present five cases of giant serpentine aneurysms (large, partially thrombosed aneurysms containing tortuous vascular channels with a separate entrance and outflow pathway) and review 28 cases reported in the literature. Giant serpentine aneurysms should be considered as a subgroup of giant aneurysms, distinct from saccular and fusiform varieties, given their unique clinical presentation and ...
