This 58-year-old woman was transferred from a local hospital due to symptoms of acute headache and decreased consciousness. Computed tomography revealed a subarachnoid hemorrhage with blood clot in prepontine cistern. On the first day in the hospital, diagnostic cerebral angiography revealed a basilar tip aneurysm. We performed basilar artery to bilateral posterior cerebral artery(PCA) stent placement to reconstruct the basilar artery apex. |
