Sumario:Pericallosal artery aneurysm (PAA) is a relatively uncommon type of intracranial aneurysm that tends to rupture more frequently and cause higher mortality rates than other types of cerebral aneurysms. Surgery to address PAA is difficult due to its deep-seated location, the size of the aneurysmal sac, and the limited surgical field. In recent years, with the development of percutaneous interventions, endovascular treatment has become the preferred, minimally invasive intervention method for the treatment of pericallosal aneurysms. In this article, we present a case of PAA that was successfully treated with flow diversion therapy in a 51-year-old male.
