AbstractAneurysms of the basilar trunk perforating artery are rarely described in the literature. Only 13 cases have been reported previously. The recommended treatment for these aneurysms is usually direct surgery such as microsurgical clipping or proximal trapping;endovascular therapy is not preferred because of difficulty to access the aneurysm. Recently however, a case report of treatment of basilar trunk perforating aneurysm with a Pipeline Embolization Device was published. Microsurgical clipping or wrapping has the disadvantage of the deep and narrow operative area and the difficult skull-base technique. Here, we report a case of basilar trunk perforating rupture aneurysm and its treatment with endovascular coil embolization.
