A ruptured V1 segment of vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm making a fistula with the adjacent vein has rarely been described in literature. Here we present a case of a 29-year-old healthy woman with sudden supraclavicular pain and palpable mass that developed after pain. Initial ultrasound showed suspicion of large haematoma. CT angiogram showed a left-sided dissecting V1-segment vertebral artery ruptured aneurysm. Angiography showed an additional fistula between the aneurysm and the adjacent vein. The patient was treated successfully with coil embolisation. The vertebral artery occlusion was well tolerated without any complications. Endovascular coiling is a fast and effective treatment modality. However, a parent vessel occlusion can be sometimes dangerous if the contralateral vertebral artery supply is not sufficient. Surgical possibilities to reconstruct the parent vessel should also be considered in complex cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2018-229108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,6]],"date-time":"2019-06-06T07:15:11Z","timestamp":1559805311000},"page":"e229108","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Successful endovascular coil embolisation of a ruptured V1-segment vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm making a fistula with the adjacent vein"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6734-7979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sajjad","family":"Muhammad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul","family":"Raj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jussi","family":"Numminen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mika","family":"Niemel\u00e4","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082710493548000_12.6.e229108.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"898","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200103223441206","article-title":"Spontaneous dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries","volume":"344","author":"Schievink","year":"2001","journal-title":"N Engl J Med Overseas Ed"},{"key":"2025082710493548000_12.6.e229108.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0090-3019(98)00011-1"},{"key":"2025082710493548000_12.6.e229108.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"446","DOI":"10.2176\/nmc.52.446","article-title":"Ruptured extracranial vertebral artery aneurysm associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.
