Summary

This study presents a novel endovascular technique using stent and coils to treat a complex cavernous aneurysm in an infant. The reconstructive approach successfully excluded the aneurysm while preserving parent vessel patency, offering a promising alternative for pediatric vascular conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Neurology

Background:

  • Cavernous aneurysms in infants are rare and pose significant treatment challenges.
  • Symptomatic presentation often necessitates urgent intervention.
  • Traditional surgical approaches like clipping or bypass grafting carry substantial risks in pediatric patients.

Observation:

  • A 3-year-old infant presented with partial cavernous sinus syndrome due to a bilobulated cavernous aneurysm with subarachnoid extension.
  • Direct surgical clipping was deemed too challenging, and bypass grafting with trapping was considered too risky.
  • A novel endovascular strategy involving a balloon-expandable stent and coils was employed.

Findings:

  • The endovascular reconstruction successfully achieved complete aneurysm obliteration using a stent and coils.

  • Digital subtraction angiography confirmed parent artery (internal carotid artery) patency and exclusion of the aneurysm.
  • A 24-month follow-up demonstrated sustained aneurysm exclusion and parent vessel patency without in-stent stenosis.

    • Implications:

    • This reconstructive endovascular technique offers a viable and less invasive alternative for complex pediatric intracranial aneurysms.
    • The successful outcome highlights the potential of stent-assisted coiling for challenging vascular lesions in young patients.
    • Long-term follow-up is crucial, but the encouraging 24-month results support this approach for pediatric neurovascular care.
