“…With a 2.1% incidence in intracranial aneurysms, basilar trunk artery aneurysm (BTAA) is a rare lesion ( 1 , 2 ). The four subtypes of BTAA (acute dissecting aneurysm, segmental fusiform ectasia, saccular aneurysm, and chronic mural bleeding ectasia) can be distinguished based on imaging symptoms and pathological characteristics ( 1 , 3 ). BTAA is mostly recognized in male patients above the age of 60 years ( 1 , 2 ).…”

BTAA is mostly recognized in male patients above the age of 60 years (1,2). The following types of BTAA are common aneurysms (2,4): (1) asymptomatic, usually accidental, or physical examination; (2) sudden headache, nausea, vomiting, and other subarachnoid hemorrhage symptoms; and (3) focal neurological impairments related to aneurysm compression or effects on the brain stem.…”

Basilar trunk artery aneurysm (BTAA) has an overall low incidence in intracranial aneurysm, but its rupture is associated with high morbidity and mortality in older people. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by visceral rotation and vascular abnormalities. It has been described in several uncommonly clinical cases, along with middle cerebral artery aneurysms and large carotid cavernous aneurysms. However, the association between interventional embolization for BTAA and SIT has not been reported. We described the angiography findings and interventional treatment of the association of BTAA with SIT.
