Basilar artery pseudoaneurysm presenting at 5-month follow-up after traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation in a 7-year-old girl treated with intracranial stent placement and coiling

Abstract: Atlanto-occipital dislocation (AOD) is a grave injury that is rarely survivable. Patients who do survive often have long-term sequelae resulting from the intracranial damage sustained during the traumatic event. The high impact needed to cause AOD is translated to the intracranial vessels, which can lead to vascular injury. Pseudoaneurysm is one of the possible outcomes of damage to the vessel wall. We present a case of basilar artery pseudoaneurysm diagnosed 5 months after a traumatic AOD who was treated with… Show more

“…As mentioned earlier, subacute phase maturation of aneurysmal wall, adjacent bony confines and narrow neck of aneurysms might be reasons of their stability. Some authors have reported successful selective aneurysm embolization with parent artery preservation in traumatic 6,10,15,19) and mycotic 20) aneurysms. Lempert et al: 15) reported the angiographic findings and clinical outcome in 11 patients with pseudoaneurysms treated by aneurysmal coil embolization.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, only nine cases of traumatic basilar artery aneurysm have been reported. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Overall, the rupture ratio of traumatic intracranial aneurysms has been reported as 19%, and high mortality rate of 32% to 54% have been reported. 2,4,5,15) Generally, the peak of risk for rupture is 2-3 weeks after the head injury.…”
