Treatment of fusiform basilar artery aneurysms is still challenging today. The authors present a case of a patient with a ruptured giant fusiform basilar artery aneurysm successfully treated by clipping occlusion of the rupture point. A 62-year-old man suddenly fell into a coma due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with a ruptured giant fusiform basilar artery aneurysm with a bleb on the right shoulder. We considered treating the lesion with stent-assisted coil embolization because of the aneurysm's shape, but we had to give up because stents were off-label in the acute phase SAH in our country. Instead, we successfully performed clipping surgery to partially occlude the aneurysm, including the rupture point via the anterior transpetrosal approach. His postoperative course was uneventful, without rerupture of the aneurysm, and his conscious level tended to improve. The postoperative imaging studies showed no complications and disappearance of the rupture point of the aneurysm. Although direct surgery for the giant fusiform basilar artery aneurysms is one of the challenging operations, it is an essential and highly effective treatment as a last resort for complex aneurysms if other treatments are not available.
如今,梭形基底动脉动脉瘤的治疗仍然具有挑战性。作者介绍了一例破裂的巨大梭形基底动脉动脉瘤患者,通过夹闭破裂点成功治愈。一名62岁男性因蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)突然昏迷,患有巨大梭形基底动脉动脉瘤且右肩部有一个小泡。由于动脉瘤的形状,我们考虑用支架辅助弹簧圈栓塞治疗该病变,但由于在我国SAH急性期使用支架属于超适应证,我们不得不放弃。取而代之的是,我们通过经岩前入路成功进行了夹闭手术,部分闭塞动脉瘤,包括破裂点。他的术后过程平稳,动脉瘤未再次破裂,意识水平趋于改善。术后影像学检查未显示并发症,动脉瘤破裂点消失。尽管巨大梭形基底动脉动脉瘤的直接手术是具有挑战性的手术之一,但如果没有其他治疗方法,作为复杂动脉瘤的最后手段,它是一种必要且高效的治疗方法。
