Name of journal: CureusAbstract: Fenestrated vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms are rare vascular lesions. Microsurgical intervention is extremely difficult due to the complex anatomy in the vicinity of these aneurysms. Endovascular neurosurgery appears to be safe and should be considered as the first modality of treatment. This case study details the treatment of an unruptured fusiform fenestrated vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm with endovascular occlusion with stent-assisted coiling. The optimal angiographic exposure and selective microcatheterization of the aneurysm were challenging due to the patient's body habitus, and the aneurysm was large with one dominant fenestrated limb.All authors: Alqahtani SA, Armonda RA, Felbaum DR, Liu AH, Tai AFiscal year: FY2017Digital Object Identifier:

Fenestrated vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms are rare vascular lesions. Microsurgical intervention is extremely difficult due to the complex anatomy in the vicinity of these aneurysms. Endovascular neurosurgery appears to be safe and should be considered as the first modality of treatment.

The optimal angiographic exposure and selective microcatheterization of the aneurysm were challenging due to the patient's body habitus, and the aneurysm was large with one dominant fenestrated limb.
