BLAs are usually located on the dorsal wall of the internal carotid artery, whereas one located on the azygos anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is so rare, it has never been reported. We report a case of a ruptured BLA arising at the distal bifurcation of an azygos ACA treated by stent-assisted coil embolization.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nA 73-year-old woman presented with a disturbance of consciousness. Computed tomography showed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage, which was observed to be particularly dense in the interhemispheric fissure. Three-dimensional rotation angiography showed a tiny and conical bulge on the distal bifurcation of the azygos trunk. Follow-up digital subtraction angiography performed on day 4 showed enlargement of the aneurysm, and a BLA arising at the azygos bifurcation was diagnosed. Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) was performed using a low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) Jr. stent, which was implanted from the left pericallosal artery to the azygos trunk. Follow-up angiography showed that the aneurysm thrombosed gradually and reached complete occlusion 90 days after onset.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nSAC for a BLA at the distal bifurcation of an azygos ACA might be an effective treatment option leading to early complete occlusion, but thrombus formation as an intraoperative complication should be noted in the BLA at the bifurcation or the peripheral artery, as in the present case.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_743_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]],"date-time":"2023-01-27T08:41:10Z","timestamp":1674808870000},"page":"27","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Endovascular treatment of a ruptured blister-like aneurysm at an azygos anterior cerebral artery: A case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shirabe","family":"Matsumoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ehime Prefectural Niihama Hospital, Niihama City, Ehime, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noriyuki","family":"Fumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ehime Prefectural Niihama Hospital, Niihama City, Ehime, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masahiko","family":"Tagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine, Toon City, Ehime, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hideo","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ehime Prefectural Niihama Hospital, Niihama City, Ehime, Japan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_743_2022\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"807","DOI":"10.1227\/01.neu.0000318164.44601.09","article-title":"Blister-like aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery: A retrospective review of diagnosis and treatment in five patients","volume":"62","author":"Andaluz","year":"2008","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_743_2022\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"825","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.13.10.825","article-title":"Studies on the arteries of the brain.
