Hemifacial spasm due to vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm treated with stent-in-stent placement; Pre- and post-treatment evaluation by 3D multifusion imaging using silent MR angiography

BACKGROUND: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) due to vertebral artery (VA) dissecting aneurysm (VADA) is rare and endovascular treatment has been performed in selected cases. CASE DESCRIPTION: We encountered a case of HFS caused by VADA that was managed with endovascular stent placement and additional stent-in...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) due to vertebral artery (VA) dissecting aneurysm (VADA) is rare and endovascular treatment has been performed in selected cases. CASE DESCRIPTION: We encountered a case of HFS caused by VADA that was managed with endovascular stent placement and additional stent-in-stent placement. Therapeutic strategies and benefits based on pre- and post-treatment evaluation by 3D multifusion imaging using silent MRA were discussed. CONCLUSION: This is the first case report of stent-in-stent placement in successful treatment of HFS caused by VADA, in which relief of neurovascular contact was demonstrated by multifusion imaging.
