Intra-Aneurysmal Coil Embolization of a Ruptured Distal Posterior Inferior Temporal Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report

OBJECTIVE: We report a case of a ruptured aneurysm at the posterior inferior temporal artery (PITA) of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) treated by intra-aneurysmal coil embolization. CASE PRESENTATION: A 93-year-old man presented with disturbance of consciousness. Angiography revealed a 3-mm aneu...

Sumario:OBJECTIVE: We report a case of a ruptured aneurysm at the posterior inferior temporal artery (PITA) of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) treated by intra-aneurysmal coil embolization. CASE PRESENTATION: A 93-year-old man presented with disturbance of consciousness. Angiography revealed a 3-mm aneurysm in the distal PITA of the left PCA. He was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage due to a ruptured aneurysm. This aneurysm was occluded by intra-aneurysmal coil embolization with preservation of the PITA. CONCLUSION: Distal PITA aneurysm of the PCA is rare. Complete occlusion and preservation of the parent artery were achieved by intra-aneurysmal coil embolization, which may be an effective therapeutic option for such aneurysms.
