Endovascular embolization using a combination of GDC coils and n-BCA is a feasible treatment for distally located, wide-neck aneurysms of the superior cerebellar artery.
Supports feasibility of coil-glue embolization for rare distal SCA aneurysms; leaves open need for prospective validation before wider use.
SUMMARY: Peripheral aneurysms of the superior cerebellar artery are considered difficult to treat surgically and endovascularly because of their inaccessibility. Parent artery occlusion is therefore frequently the preferred method. Embolic materials previously reported in this situation are either GDC coils or a polymerizing agent (n- BCA). We report a patient with two distally located, wide-neck aneurysms of the right superior cerebellar artery who presented with hemorrhage and was treated by endovascular embolization of the parent artery using a combination of GDC coils and n-BCA.

Szajner et al. (2003) conducted a case report in Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysms with subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=1). Endovascular embolization with GDC coils and n-BCA injection (parent artery occlusion) was evaluated on Aneurysm occlusion and clinical outcome. Endovascular treatment using a combination of GDC coils and n-BCA injection successfully occluded two distally located right superior cerebellar artery aneurysms without neurological complications.
