  • Title: Flow diversion of a recurrent, iatrogenic basilar tip aneurysm in a pediatric patient: case report.
    Author: Sastry RA, Koch MJ, Grannan BL, Stapleton CJ, Butler WE, Patel AB.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Pediatr; 2018 Jan; 21(1):90-93. PubMed ID: 29027870.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a common treatment for noncommunicating hydrocephalus. Although rare, vascular injury and traumatic pseudoaneurysm development during ETV have been reported. The authors present the case of a 13-year-old boy who underwent repeat ETV (rETV) for shunt and ETV failure, and who suffered an intraoperative subarachnoid hemorrhage due to iatrogenic injury to the basilar tip, with subsequent development of a pseudoaneurysm. Despite initial primary coil embolization, the aneurysm recurred and was definitively treated with flow diversion. In this report, the authors review complication rates associated with ETV and rETV as well as the emerging use of flow diversion and its applications in vessel reconstruction within the pediatric population.
