De novo basilar top aneurysm in an elderly patient treated with Guglielmi detachable coils.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ruptured de novo aneurysms, compared with the usual subarachnoid hemorrhage, commonly occur in younger patients and are extremely rare in elderly patients. We discuss their etiology and report the case of a ruptured de novo aneurysm in a 77-year-old woman.

Basilar tip aneurysm: endovascular treatment with Guglielmi detachable coils--midterm results.
PURPOSE To determine the safety and effectiveness of Guglielmi detachable coils in the endovascular treatment of ruptured and nonruptured basilar tip aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A basilar tip aneurysm was occluded with Guglielmi detachable coils in 21 patients. The aneurysmal diameter was small (less than 12 mm) in 15 patients, large (12-25 mm) in four patients, and giant (more than 25 m...
متن کاملBasilar artery aneurysm treated with coil embolization via persistent primitive hypoglossal artery.
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 th...
متن کاملScanning electron microscopic findings in a basilar tip aneurysm embolized with Guglielmi detachable coils.
With the growing use of endovascular therapy for intracranial aneurysms, it is important that we understand at a cellular level the processes that lead to lesion obliteration. We present autopsy findings, including electron and light microscopic studies, of a basilar artery aneurysm that was successfully embolized with the Guglielmi detachable coil system 4 weeks before the patient died.
متن کاملDelayed reconfiguration of a Guglielmi detachable coil mass associated with late occlusion of an adjacent aneurysm and parent vessel.
We present a case of asymptomatic, progressive, late occlusion of the left superior cerebellar artery (SCA) and an aneurysm arising from the junction of the SCA and basilar artery after embolization of an adjacent aneurysm arising between the left posterior cerebral artery and the left SCA. The delayed occlusion was associated with reconfiguration of the Guglielmi detachable coils at the neck o...
متن کاملGuglielmi detachable coil embolization of a giant midbasilar aneurysm in a 19-month-old patient.
We present the case of a 19-month-old patient with tuberous sclerosis who developed a giant aneurysm of the midbasilar artery. Multiple Guglielmi detachable coils were used to fill and occlude the aneurysm and the involved segment of the basilar artery. After the procedure, the child had transient peripheral fifth cranial nerve palsy and no permanent neurologic deficits.
