Ruptured vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm associated with basilar artery fenestration
1997
A case of a ruptured saccular aneurysm arising from the proximal portion of a partially duplicated basilar artery in a 36-year-old woman is reported. CT and lumbar puncture confirmed subarachnoid haemorrhage. Cerebral angiography detected a vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm associated with basilar artery fenestration. The patient underwent successful clipping and coating of the aneurysm by a right lateral suboccipital osteoclastic approach. Embryological development, pathogenesis, diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this vascular malformation are discussed in this report.
