Growing Dissecting Aneurysm of Basilar Trunk Treated with Stent-assisted Coiling
چکیده انگلیسی

Growing basilar dissecting aneurysm is a scarce but increasingly recognized entity, accounting for a significant risk of death and disability. Controversy exists regarding the optimal management. A 61-year-old man presented with dysarthria and left hemiparesis attributable to a basilar trunk dissecting aneurysm. Antiplatelet therapy was instituted, and the patient's clinical condition markedly improved. However, he developed severe headache, dysarthria, and left hemiparesis 35 days later. Angiography revealed significant enlargement of the aneurysm, and stent-assisted coiling was then uneventfully performed. The patient remained clinically stable with only mild left-sided hemiparesis at the 2-year clinical follow-up.
