Sumario:The management of giant vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) aneurysms is extremely challenging. Flow diverter (FD) therapy has become an important alternative to treat difficult intracranial aneurysms for both open surgery and conventional endovascular therapy. Herein, we report a rare case of a giant fusiform VBJ aneurysm in a child that is successfully treated with FD therapy.
