ENDOVASCULAR COILING OF FUSISACCULAR LEFT POSTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY P1 SEGMENT ANEURYSM WITH NEUROGENIC STUNNED MYOCARDIUM AND PULMONARY EDEMA. - A RARE CASE REPORT.

Abstract


The Posterior cerebral artery is a rare site of aneurysm formation. Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) dissecting aneurysms account for less than 1.2% of all intracranial aneurysms, with most located at P2 or distal segment of the vessel. The major clinical presentations in this lesion are subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and brain ischemia. Due to anatomic location of the PCA (richness of perforating branches, proximity to the upper brain stem, and lower cranial nerves).The detection of aneurysm has increased due to technological advances, and newer options of endovascular neurosurgical treatment like coiling give consistent results. We are reporting a rare case of left posterior cerebral artery P1 segment aneurysm with neurogenic stunned myocardium and pulmonary edema.
