Abstract:
Fenestration of vertebral artery is hemodynamically associated with aneurysm and other vascular injury. Dissecting aneurysm in intracranial fenestration of vertebral artery is very rare disease and hardly reported. We present a 65-year-old man with ruptured dissecting aneurysm in distal vertebral artery fenestration, which was treated by coil embolization. Final vertebral angiogram shows bypass flow through the other artery of fenestration into basilar artery. In addition, modality of treatment in dissecting aneurysm will be discussed.
