  • Title: [Fenestrated basilar artery aneurysm: case report].
    Author: Kobayashi M, Suzuki M, Sato N, Omama S, Otawara Y, Wada T, Ogawa A.
    Journal: No Shinkei Geka; 1999 Jul; 27(7):639-43. PubMed ID: 10440038.
    Abstract:
    The authors reported an operated case with an aneurysm arising from the proximal end of basilar artery fenestration, and discussed its etiology and surgical strategy. A 47-year-old woman presented with slight memory disturbance. Neuroradiologic examination revealed an aneurysm located on the proximal end of the basilar artery 12 x 9 mm in size at the level of the outer auditory meatus. The union of vertebral arteries had deviated toward the right side, and the aneurysmal dome had projected into the fenestration. Through the right far lateral approach, we applied two straight fenestrated clips X configuration to the aneurysm. Several authors have reported a variety of approaches for vertebrobasilar aneurysms along the midline with consideration of the height of the aneurysmal. However, another point of view is that attention should be paid to the direction of the clip blade and applied at the final clipping, because, for vertebrobasilar aneurysms adjacent to the midline, the surgical view and working space are extremely restricted.
