  • Title: [Saccular aneurysm arising from the basilar artery fenestration: a case report].
    Author: Ochi A, Nakamura M, Kawano T, Mori K, Aikawa H.
    Journal: No Shinkei Geka; 1986 May; 14(6):797-800. PubMed ID: 3748289.
    Abstract:
    This patient, 29-year-old female, had an attack of subarachnoid hemorrhage. On admission a cerebral angiogram showed a saccular aneurysm arising from the proximal origin of the fenestrated basilar artery (Fig. 1). The aneurysm was clipped successfully with two steps under a right retromastoidal suboccipital craniectomy (Fig. 2). Association of the fenestrated basilar artery and saccular aneurysm is rare. To our knowledge, 9 cases have been found in the literature and only 4 cases were operated. The authors discussed the pathogenesis and treatment of such aneurysms.
