Introduction Pericallosal artery (PA) aneurysms represent 2 to 9% of all intracranial aneurysms, and their management remains difficult. Objective The aim of the present study is to describe the case of an adult woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage and bilateral PA aneurysm in mirror position. Case Report A 46-year-old woman was referred to our institution 20 days after a sudden severe headache. She informed that she was treating her arterial hypertension irregularly, and consumed ∼ 20 cigarettes/day. The patient was neurologically intact at admission. A non-contrast computed tomography (CT) on the first day of the onset of the symptoms revealed hydrocephaly and subarachnoid hemorrhage (Fisher III). An angio-CT/digital subtraction arteriography showed bilateral PA aneurysms in mirror position. The patient was successfully treated with surgery via the right interhemispheric approach (because the surgeon is right-handed); the surgeon performed the proximal control with temporary clipping, and introduced an external ventricular drain at the end of the surgery. The patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day without any additional neurological deficits or ventricular shunts. Conclusion Ruptured PA aneurysm is a surgically challenging aneurysm due to the many anatomical nuances and risk of rebleeding. However, the operative management of ruptured bilateral PA aneurysms is feasible and effective.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Because of their rarity, the pathogenesis and clinical features of isolated spinal artery aneurysms are still unclear, and their diagnoses and treatments are challenging. We report a case of an isolated posterior spinal artery aneurysm and review previous reports thoroughly to identify the general features of isolated spinal aneurysms. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old man presented with abdominal pain followed by back pain and radiculopathy from subarachnoid hemorrhage in the spinal canal. The spinal angiogram demonstrated the presence of a dissecting aneurysm of the posterior spinal artery. He was treated by endovascular occlusion of the origin of the radiculopial artery and recovered completely. CONCLUSION: Isolated spinal artery aneurysms are very rare lesions; however, they should be considered in patients with intracranial or spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage without evidence of arteriovenous malformations. Spinal aneurysms have different etiologies compared with intracranial aneurysms. Cervical aneurysms have worse outcomes than thoracolumbar aneurysms. The etiology and location of the lesion and distal flow to the lesion should be taken into consideration when planning the treatment.

Ophthalmic Segment Aneurysms

Introduction Ophthalmic segment aneurysms may present with visual symptoms due to direct compression of the optic nerve. Treatment of these aneurysms with the Pipeline embolization device (PED) often results in visual improvement. Flow diversion, however, has also been associated with occlusion of the ophthalmic artery and visual deficits in a small subset of cases. Case report A 49-year-old Caucasian female presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. On follow-up imaging, the patient was found to have a right asymptomatic ophthalmic segment aneurysm. Due to the irregular shape of the aneurysm and history of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, the decision was made to treat the aneurysm with a PED. Postoperatively, the patient complained of floaters in the right eye. Detailed ophthalmologic examination showed retinal hemorrhage and cotton-wool spots on the macula. Such complication after PED placement has never been reported in the literature. Conclusion Visual complications after PED placement for treatment of ophthalmic segment aneurysms are rare. It is thought that even in cases where the ophthalmic artery occludes, patients remain asymptomatic due to the rich collateral supply from the external carotid artery branches. Here we report a patient who developed an acute retinal hemorrhage after PED placement.

Abstract This case report describes a 29-year-old man with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an anterior spinal artery aneurysm. Surgical obliteration of the aneurysm was successful. This is the sixth reported case of an isolated symptomatic aneurysm of a spinal artery.
