Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Cerebrovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Vertebrobasilar aneurysms, particularly those arising from fenestrations, represent a complex subset of cerebrovascular pathology.
  • Surgical approaches for midline vertebrobasilar aneurysms require careful consideration of anatomical variations and spatial limitations.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old female presented with memory disturbance, revealing a 12x9 mm aneurysm at the proximal basilar artery fenestration.
  • The aneurysm's dome projected into the fenestration, with contralateral deviation of the vertebral artery confluence.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical obliteration of the basilar artery fenestration aneurysm was achieved using a right far lateral approach.
  • Application of two straight fenestrated clips in an X configuration was employed for aneurysm clipping.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of tailored surgical strategies for complex aneurysms.
  • Attention to clip blade orientation during the final clipping stage is crucial in restricted surgical fields for vertebrobasilar aneurysms.
