Abstract:
The clinical course and management of aneurysm by intracranial arterial dissection are not well known. Since intracranial dissecting aneurysm has a higher bleeding risk than an extracranial one, the optimal choice of treatment is controversial. We report two patients who presented with a dissecting aneurysm in the intracranial vertebral artery without subarachnoid hemorrhage. They showed successful responses to antiplatelet treatment without any surgical interventions.
