Abstract

A 4-year-old girl suffered intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhage during endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Cerebral angiography revealed a traumatic basilar aneurysm secondary to basilar artery injury. The aneurysm was treated with selective endovascular embolization using Guglielmi detachable coils. We review some therapeutic features of traumatic basilar aneurysms after endoscopic third ventriculostomy and describe the feasibility of endovascular selective therapy to manage these lesions successfully.
