Demonstrates the feasibility of using a bridging bare stent with subsequent coil occlusion of the stent lumen to successfully treat a giant symptomatic fusiform basilar artery aneurysm in a pediatric patient.
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: To report the treatment of a symptomatic giant basilar artery aneurysm in a child. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 7-year-old girl presented with a 2-month history of progressive right hemiparesis caused by a huge fusiform aneurysm of the basilar artery with compression of the brainstem. INTERVENTION OR TECHNIQUE: The patient was treated with a bridging bare stent and occlusion of the stent lumen with detachable coils. CONCLUSION: The patient experienced immediate total occlusion of the aneurysm with almost total recuperation after 1 year.

Wilms et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Symptomatic giant fusiform basilar artery aneurysm with brainstem compression (n=1). Bridging bare stent with subsequent detachable coil occlusion of the stent lumen was evaluated on Aneurysm occlusion and clinical recuperation. Bridging bare stent placement with coil occlusion achieved immediate total aneurysm occlusion and almost total clinical recuperation at 1 year in a 7-year-old girl.
