title: Clipping of an aneurysm of a fenestrated basilar artery.
abstract: We describe the case of a fenestrated basilar artery aneurysm successfully clipped by means of a right presigmoid petrosal approach. Three-dimensional CT angiography enabled the surgeon to plan an approach to an aneurysm in this unique location, and the presigmoid petrosal approach was suitable for clipping of the aneurysm.
