Delayed reconfiguration of a Guglielmi detachable coil mass associated with late occlusion of an adjacent aneurysm and parent vessel.
We present a case of asymptomatic, progressive, late occlusion of the left superior cerebellar artery (SCA) and an aneurysm arising from the junction of the SCA and basilar artery after embolization of an adjacent aneurysm arising between the left posterior cerebral artery and the left SCA. The delayed occlusion was associated with reconfiguration of the Guglielmi detachable coils at the neck of the treated aneurysm.
