Fusiform basilar aneurysm simulating carotid transient ischemic attacks.

L F Hirsh, C F Gonzalez

    Stroke
    |September 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fusiform basilar artery aneurysms are rare and can mimic other conditions. This case highlights the importance of considering alternative diagnoses when symptoms persist after vascular surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • Fusiform aneurysms of the basilar artery are exceptionally rare.
    • They often present as posterior fossa masses, complicating diagnosis.
    • This study focuses on an atypical presentation mimicking carotid vascular disease.

    Observation:

    • A patient experienced recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
    • Initial diagnosis suggested carotid vascular disease, leading to endarterectomy.
    • Symptoms persisted post-surgery, followed by brainstem infarction.

    Findings:

    • The patient's persistent TIAs and subsequent infarction indicated an incorrect initial diagnosis.
    • Post-mortem or advanced imaging revealed a fusiform basilar artery aneurysm as the true cause.
    • Failure of carotid endarterectomy to resolve symptoms was a key indicator.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for broader differential diagnoses in cerebrovascular disease.
    • Persistent or new neurological symptoms after vascular procedures warrant re-evaluation.
    • Atypical presentations of basilar artery aneurysms require consideration in neurological assessments.
