Recanalization of completely thrombosed giant aneurysm: case report.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Spontaneous recanalization in a completely thrombosed giant aneurysm is a very rare condition.

CASE DESCRIPTION:

An 18-year-old woman presented with a serpentine variety giant aneurysm of the posterior cerebral artery, in which spontaneous recanalization of a completely thrombosed lumen was demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging and angiography. The patient was treated by trapping of the parent artery and aneurysmectomy.

CONCLUSION:

This case will provide insight into the potential for spontaneous recanalization in completely thrombosed giant aneurysms
