title: Flow-diverter stent for the treatment of a non-origin posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm. A case report.
abstract: We describe the case of a 44-year old man with a ruptured wide-necked non-origin aneurysm of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery successfully treated with placement of a low porosity stent. To our knowledge, there are no cases in the literature of a non-origin posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm treated with a flow-diverter stent.
