Clipping of an aneurysm of a fenestrated basilar artery

Br J Neurosurg. 1998 Apr;12(2):156-8. doi: 10.1080/02688699845311.

Abstract

We describe the case of a fenestrated basilar artery aneurysm successfully clipped by means of a right presigmoid petrosal approach. Three-dimensional CT angiography enabled the surgeon to plan an approach to an aneurysm in this unique location, and the presigmoid petrosal approach was suitable for clipping of the aneurysm.
