Rarer still is endovascular treatment, occurring in only seven of these cases, with almost all interventions involving the sacrifice of the parent artery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case Description:<\/jats:title>\n A 1-month-old term male presented lethargic and irritable with bulging fontanelles and no neurologic deficit. Transfontanelle ultrasonography showed intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. Non-invasive angiography revealed subacute subarachnoid hemorrhage with hemosiderosis and multiple cystic septations suggestive of repeated hemorrhage from a distal right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm. Digital subtraction angiography identified a right 8 mm \u00d7 5 mm telovelotonsillar segment aneurysm, subsequently coiled to occlusion without parent artery sacrifice. Cerebrospinal fluid diversion through an external ventricular drain, followed by ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, was required. No evidence of cerebral vasospasm or delayed cerebral ischemia occurred in the postoperative period.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Ruptured cerebral aneurysms in neonates remain exceptionally rare. We present the largest, coiled PICA neonatal aneurysm in the literature, and only the second neonatal aneurysm of any location endovascularly treated without parent artery sacrifice. Despite the inherent challenges of neonatal vascular access, endovascular treatment without parent artery occlusion can be considered when aneurysm morphology is favorable.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_197_2026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,25]],"date-time":"2026-04-25T08:55:35Z","timestamp":1777107335000},"page":"245","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ruptured posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm in a neonate treated with coil embolization: A technical report"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Andrew D.","family":"Gong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danielle D.","family":"Dang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Awan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caren","family":"Stuebe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Greenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nilesh","family":"Vyas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leon","family":"Moores","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Inova Children\u2019s Hospital, Virginia, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_197_2026\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e20183036","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2018-3036","article-title":"Long-term outcomes of cerebral aneurysms in children","volume":"143","author":"Amelot","year":"2019","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_197_2026\/ref-2","first-page":"e20478","article-title":"Surgical clipping versus endovascular coiling in the management of intracranial aneurysms","volume":"13","author":"Belavadi","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_197_2026\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1513","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A1633","article-title":"Difficult aneurysms for endovascular treatment: Overwide or undertall?","volume":"30","author":"Brinjikji","year":"2009","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_197_2026\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e425","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2018.03.003","article-title":"PHASES and ELAPSS scores are associated with aneurysm growth: A study of 431 unruptured intracranial aneurysms","volume":"114","author":"Brinjikji","year":"2018","journal-title":"World Neurosurg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_197_2026\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"418","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2017.09.150","article-title":"Pediatric intracranial aneurysms: Considerations and recommendations for follow-up imaging","volume":"109","author":"Ghali","year":"2018","journal-title":"World Neurosurg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_197_2026\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2020.05.018","article-title":"Ruptured intracranial aneurysm in a neonate: Case report and review of the literature","volume":"140","author":"Goia","year":"2020","journal-title":"World Neurosurg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_197_2026\/ref-7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1991.75.1.0008","article-title":"Electrothrombosis of saccular aneurysms via endovascular approach.
