Abstrakt: We describe a case of internal trapping including the vasa vasorum for a thrombosed giant rapidly growing posterior cerebral artery aneurysm and performing a detailed analysis. A 48-year-old woman was followed up in our hospital for a thrombosed large posterior cerebral artery aneurysm located in the P2 segment. She initially presented after experiencing a sudden headache on two occasions. Head computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging indicated a larger aneurysm than before. Digital subtraction angiography with balloon occlusion test was assessed, and internal trapping was sequentially conducted. We detected that the vasa vasorum originated from the posterior temporal artery. Therefore, we embolized the posterior temporal artery including the vasa vasorum using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and Lipiodol. Next, the anterior temporal artery was embolized with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and Lipiodol, posterior temporal artery P3 segment and the aneurysm and finally the proximal P2 segment were embolized with coils. Final vertebral and internal carotid angiography showed complete obliteration of the aneurysm. On the day after the procedure her paresis worsened and she developed left upper quadrantanopia, however was finally discharged with no hemiparesis. We reported a case of a rapidly growing thrombosed giant posterior cerebral artery aneurysm treated by parent artery occlusion including the vasa vasorum with detailed image analysis.
