Abstract
To the authors' knowledge, no case of double fenestration of the basilar artery has been reported. This report presents a case of concurring vertebral artery dissection and double fenestration of the basilar artery with aneurysm. The fenestration and FMD are considered possible main contributing causes of this presentation. A literature review of cerebrovascular fenestration and FMD is provided and the relationship between the 2 is considered. Lastly, the use of antithrombotic therapy in the setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage, dissection, and stent placement is discussed.
