title: Osteogenesis imperfecta, multiple intra-abdominal arterial dissections and a ruptured dissecting-type intracranial aneurysm.
abstract: We describe an adult patient with a ruptured dissecting-type superior cerebellar artery aneurysm and known osteogenesis imperfecta. He was successfully treated with coil embolization and intentional parent vessel sacrifice. During his hospital admission, he also suffered from abdominal distension. An incidental note was made of multiple intra-abdominal arterial dissections. These were managed conservatively. We review the rare association of osteogenesis imperfecta and intracranial aneurysms, as well as discuss management implications.
