Intracranial aneurysms of the pediatric population are rare, but giant fusiform aneurysms (GFAs) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are common within this cohort of patients. These aneurysms are difficult to treat and often require advanced microsurgical skills, as they are usually not amenable to direct clipping. Here, we report the successful treatment of a recurrent GFA of the MCA with three telescoping Pipeline Embolization Devices 6 months after attempted clip reconstruction in a pediatric patient.
儿童颅内动脉瘤很少见,但大脑中动脉(MCA)的巨大梭形动脉瘤(GFA)在这类患者中很常见。这些动脉瘤很难治疗,通常需要先进的显微外科技术,因为它们通常不适合直接夹闭。在此,我们报告了一名儿科患者在尝试夹闭重建6个月后,使用三个串联的Pipeline栓塞装置成功治疗复发性MCA-GFA的病例。
