Treatment of a sequential giant fusiform aneurysm of the basilar trunk

Korean J Radiol. 2005 Apr-Jun;6(2):125-9. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2005.6.2.125.

Abstract

We report an exceptional case of a de novo giant fusiform aneurysm of the basilar trunk, which developed shortly after the therapeutic occlusion of the right internal carotid artery for a fusiform carotid aneurysm. It would appear to be appropriate to call this entity a sequential giant fusiform aneurysm. The patient was successfully treated with endovascular occlusion of the giant basilar trunk aneurysm following bypass surgery.
