Abstract
- We report a case of unruptured aneurysm associated with basilar fenestration treated with coil-assisted coil embolization. A 46-year-old man had suffered from intermittent, progressive occipital headache for 2 months. Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography showed a large aneurysm at the proximal basilar artery. Both three-dimensional CT angiography and angiography demonstrated a saccular, 20x15-mm aneurysm arising at the proximal end of associated fenestration at the basilar artery. The aneurysm was successfully occluded with stent-assisted coil embolization. The patient was discharged home after 1 week and received 75 mg clopidogrel once daily for 4 weeks and 100 mg aspirin once daily for life.
