Yet, in case of bilateral fusiform SCA aneurysms, surgical therapy reaches its limit. Mini-flow diverter devices (FDDs) have only recently become available for treating fusiform aneurysms of such small vessels. We report the unique case of bilateral distal fusiform SCA aneurysms in a 43-year-old man with subarachnoid hemorrhage (Fisher grade IV and World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies [WFNS] grade II) treated with endovascular implantation of bilateral mini-FDDs with excellent outcome and no radiographic signs of infarction. Yet, occlusion of one of the FDDs was found in the follow-up, which again shows the eminent danger of occlusion in case of an implantation of FDDs in such small-caliber vessels, which leaves the discussion about the optimal therapy method open.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1739212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,22]],"date-time":"2021-12-22T00:08:51Z","timestamp":1640131731000},"page":"593-599","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Treatment of Unique Bilateral Distal Fusiform Superior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysms with Mini-Flow Diverter Device Implantation: Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"84","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1868-4319","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bj\u00f6rn B.","family":"Hofmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Heinrich-Heine University Medical Center, D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Rubbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Heinrich-Heine University Medical Center, D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernd","family":"Turowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Heinrich-Heine University Medical Center, D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"H\u00e4nggi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Heinrich-Heine University Medical Center, D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sajjad","family":"Muhammad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Heinrich-Heine University Medical Center, D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"06","key":"ref1","first-page":"1208","article-title":"Endovascular treatment of peripheral cerebellar artery aneurysms","volume":"24","author":"B Lubicz","year":"2003","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","first-page":"717","article-title":"Distal superior cerebellar artery aneurysm presenting with cerebellar infarction: report of two cases","volume":"22","author":"M Danet","year":"2001","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"874","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1991.75.6.0874","article-title":"A clinicopathological study of dissecting aneurysms of the intracranial vertebral artery","volume":"75","author":"O Sasaki","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref4","first-page":"564","article-title":"Endovascular treatment of superior cerebellar artery aneurysms","volume":"29","author":"V Acik","year":"2019","journal-title":"Turk Neurosurg"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"391","DOI":"10.1007\/s00234-016-1649-2","article-title":"Flow diverter treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms.
