Endovascular glue embolization of the medial posterior choroidal artery aneurysm: A case report and a literature review

BACKGROUND: The medial posterior choroidal artery (MPCA) aneurysm is extremely uncommon. Thus yet, just a few cases have been reported. Due to the deep position, narrow lumen, fragile walls, and extensive tortuosity, both endovascular and microsurgical procedures are strictly limited. A case study o...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: The medial posterior choroidal artery (MPCA) aneurysm is extremely uncommon. Thus yet, just a few cases have been reported. Due to the deep position, narrow lumen, fragile walls, and extensive tortuosity, both endovascular and microsurgical procedures are strictly limited. A case study of successful endovascular glue embolization of a left MPCA aneurysm and a literature review is included in this report. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 17-year-old female arrived at our institution 2 days after suffering a major intraventricular hemorrhage with a minor subarachnoid hemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a left MPCA aneurysm. The patient underwent a successful endovascular glue embolization and had a favorable functional outcome. CONCLUSION: Endovascular glue embolization yielded favorable clinical and angiographic results in MPCA aneurysms where microcatheter access and maneuverability are challenging.
