ENDOVASCULAR THERAPEUTIC APPROACH TO PERIPHERAL ANEURYSMS OF THE SUPERIOR CEREBELLAR ARTERY

Peripheral aneurysms of the superior cerebellar artery may be difficul t to treat surgically owing to their inaccessibility and to the freque nt inability to preserve the involved parent artery, In fact, for most cases, surgical treatment consists of proximal parent artery occlusio n and/or trapping with surgical clips, An equivalent endovascular ther apeutic approach to these lesions may be an attractive alternative met hod of management, We describe two cases of peripheral superior cerebe llar artery aneurysms that were treated successfully with endovascular embolization.
