Abstract

Multiple intracranial aneurysms (IAs) have never been reported in a patient with Gaucher disease (GD). A 69-year-old-female with type I GD presented with a left sixth nerve palsy due to a large posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm. Cerebral angiography demonstrated fifteen unruptured IAs (UIAs).

Keywords: Gaucher disease; Pipeline Embolization Device; flow diversion; intracerebral aneurysm; unruptured.
