Surgical strategy at patients with multiple cerebral aneurysms combined with basilar artery fenestration

Abstract

This article presents the rare clinical case of 51 years old male patient with multiple cerebral aneurysms combined with fenestration of proximal segment of basilar artery. This patient underwent step-by-step surgical treatment with clipping of right supraclinoid aneurysm and aneurysm of proximal segment of basilar artery. The presented data of 3D-angiography allow clarifying the diagnosis. This clinical case is of concern due to rare vessel abnormality combined with multiple cerebral aneurysms and its diagnostics using the modern angiographic methods with 3D-reconstruction useful for planning of surgical treatment steps.
