Behavioral disorders were a prominent clinical feature after the surgical treatment of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture in a 44-year-old man. Callosal apraxia was associated with an alien hand. The latter remained 1 year after surgery while diagonistic apraxia disappeared after 3 months. Other callosal signs included left agraphia, tactile anomia and auditory suppression. MRI revealed posterior callosal infarction and a right frontal infarct. The association of diagonistic apraxia and alien hand is rarely reported.

We report a case of thromboembolic occlusion of the middle cerebral artery after endovascular treatment of a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. When fibrinolytic therapy failed to recanalize the occluded vessel, an emergency extracranial-to-intracranial bypass was performed. This intervention rescued our patient from cerebral infarction. This case demonstrates the importance of the offering this procedure at neurointerventional centers.

Abstract Coaxial support is a fundamental technique utilized by neurointerventionalists to optimize distal catheter control within the intracranial circulation. Here we present a 41-yr-old woman with a previously coiled ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm with progressive recurrence harboring tortuous internal carotid anatomy to demonstrate the utility of coaxial support. Raymond-Roy classification of initial aneurysm coiling of class 1 resulted as class 3b over the 21 mo from initial treatment.1 The patient consented to stent-assisted coiling for retreatment of this aneurysm. Coaxial support was advanced as distally as possible in the proximal vasculature to improve catheter control, reducing dead space within which the microcatheter could move, decreasing angulations within proximal vasculature, limiting the movement of the native vessels, and providing a surface of lower friction than the endothelium. As the risk of recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage in previously treated coiled aneurysms approaches 3%, retreatment occurs in 16.4% within 6 yr2 and in 17.4% of patients within 10 yr.3 Rerupture is slightly higher in patients who underwent coiling vs clipping, with the rerupture risk inversely proportional to the degree of aneurysm occlusion,4 further substantiating that coaxial support provides technical advantage in selected patients where additional microcatheter control is necessary for optimal occlusion. Pitfalls of this technique include vasospasm and vascular injury, which can be ameliorated by pretreatment of the circulation with vasodilators to prevent catheter-induced vasospasm. This case and model demonstration illustrates the technique of coaxial access in the stent-assisted coiling of a recurrent anterior communicating artery aneurysm and identification and management of catheter-induced vasospasm.

ABSTRACTGiant anterior communicating artery aneurysmsarerare. Apatient presented with visual dysfunction, gait ataxia and urinary incontinence. MRI showed a giant suprasellar mass.At surgery, the lesion was identified as being an aneurysm arising from the anterior communicating artery.The difficulty in preoperative diagnosis and relevant literature are reviewed.
