Vertebrobasilar Aneurysm
Lateral image from digital subtraction angiography (image 1) with the catheter in the right vertebral artery shows a large saccular aneurysm (arrow) arising from the junction of the vertebral and basilar arteries. The aneurysm was subsequently embolized with coils (image 2). Cerebral aneurysms are associated with entities such as polycystic kidney disease, fibromuscular dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis, Ehlers Danlos, and Marfan syndrome. The most frequent location of cerebral aneurysms in children is at the carotid terminus.
