OBJECTIVE Surgical clipping of the cerebral aenurysm is considered as a standard therapy with endovascular coil embolization. The surgical clipping is known to be superior to the endovascular coil embolization in terms of recurrent rate. However, a recurrent aneurysm which is initially treated by surgical clipping is difficult to handle. The purpose of this study was to research the management ...

A case of subarachnoid haemorrhage due to rupture of a middle cerebral artery aneurysm followed by immediate enlargement of a carotid intra-cavernous aneurysm is described. The enlargement of the second aneurysm was due to a rise in blood pressure caused by the subarachnoid haemorrhage. Although multiple aneurysms are common, this phenomenon is very rare and the reasons for this are discussed.

A patient with bacterial endocarditis had headaches, cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis and normal cerebral angiograms. Fifteen days later, while on appropriate antibiotic therapy, he developed an intracerebral hematoma due to a mycotic aneurysm. Mycotic aneurysm is an infrequent but serious complication of bacterial endocarditis. An aneurysm should be considered whenever a patient with bacterial ...

Intravascular occlusion by various catheterization techniques was used to treat 27 cases of carotid-cavernous fistula, giant intracavernous aneurysm, and cerebral or dural arteriovenous malformation. Several case reports are presented. The detachable balloon technique proved valuable in the treatment of traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula and giant aneurysm. Calibrated-leak balloon catheterizat...

SUMMARY A 69-year-old woman had a symptomatic cervical carotid stenosis coupled with a coincidental unruptured cerebral aneurysm in the carotid distal segment. She underwent endovascular coiling for the aneurysm and then carotid stent placement (CAS) 1 month later. Both lesions were treated successfully and neither complications nor strokes occurred after the procedures. Staged endovascular tre...

Studies of cerebral blood flow and distal intravascular pressure changes were studied in 11 patients at the time of common carotid artery ligation for the treatment of intracranial aneurysm. No neurological deterioration was observed while these patients were under observation. Cerebral blood flow in the ipsilateral hemisphere recovered rapidly while reduction in pressure, and in particular dim...

A variety of cerebral vascular anomalies are widely applied, however anomalies of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are relatively infrequent. The duplicated MCA (DMCA) is a MCA anomaly. Aneurysm arising from the origin of the DMCA is rare. Cerebral angiography in a 61-year-old female demonstrated a small (about 3 mm) saccular aneurysm located at the origin of the DMCA in the anterior direction....

PURPOSE To report two cases of acute ischemic stroke with anterior communicating artery aneurysm presented to emergency room within 3 hours after onset, and to review the literature. CASE REPORT Two cases of previously unreported anterior communicating artery aneurysm were candidates for intravenous thrombolysis for their acute stroke. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was eventually w...

We report a case of a ruptured saccular aneurysm of the distal posterior cerebral artery (P3). The aneurysm was successfuly clipped through an occipital interhemispheric approach and the patient was discharged without any neurological deficit.

An aneurysm is an abnormal formation of a blood vessel. Aneurysms are divided into 4 according to their shape (saccular, microaneurysm, giant, and fusiform). The caused by many factors (patient risk factors, hemodynamic stress, involvement cytokines inflammatory mediators as well macrophages, T cells, mast cells). diagnosis carried out with the help tools such MRA CT angiography. In providing m...
