The clinical presentation, aneurysm location, endovascular management, and treatment outcome were studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>During the study period, 23 pediatric patients (mean age 13 years, range 2 months\u201318 years) were referred to the authors' department and underwent endovascular treatment for aneurysms. The aneurysms were saccular in 6 cases, dissecting in 4, infectious in 5, and giant partially thrombosed lesions in 8. Fourteen of the aneurysms were ruptured, and 9 were unruptured. Thirteen were in the anterior circulation and 10 in the posterior circulation. The most common location in the anterior circulation was the anterior communicating artery; in the posterior circulation, the most common location was the basilar artery. Saccular aneurysms were the most common type in the anterior circulation; and giant partially thrombosed and dissecting aneurysms were the most common types in the posterior circulation. Coil embolization was performed in 7 cases, parent vessel sacrifice in 10, flow reversal in 3, glue embolization in 2, and stent placement in 1. Immediate angiographic cure was seen in 21 (91%) of 23 patients. Complications occurred in 4 patients, 3 of whom eventually had a good outcome. No patient died. Overall, a favorable outcome was seen in 22 (96%) of 23 patients. Follow-up showed stable occlusion of aneurysms in 96% of the patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Pediatric aneurysms are rare. Their clinical presentation varies from intracranial hemorrhage to mass effect. They may also be found incidentally. Among pediatric patients with aneurysms, giant aneurysms are relatively common. Endovascular management is associated with low rates of complications and is a safe, durable, and effective treatment for pediatric aneurysms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2012.5.peds1210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,21]],"date-time":"2012-07-21T00:19:34Z","timestamp":1342829974000},"page":"230-240","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":87,"title":["Intracranial pediatric aneurysms: endovascular treatment and its outcome"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Rashmi","family":"Saraf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manish","family":"Shrivastava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wuppalapati","family":"Siddhartha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uday","family":"Limaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-peds1210","series-title":"Childs Nerv Syst","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1030","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-005-1152-2","article-title":"The role of endovascular treatment for pediatric aneurysms","volume":"21","author":"Agid","year":"2005"},{"key":"b2-peds1210","series-title":"Pediatr Radiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1007\/s002470050336","article-title":"Intracranial aneurysms in infants and children","volume":"28","author":"Allison","year":"1998"},{"key":"b3-peds1210","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198103000-00003","article-title":"Posterior circulation aneurysms in young people","volume":"8","author":"Amacher","year":"1981"},{"key":"b4-peds1210","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"393","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1991.74.3.0393","article-title":"Endovascular occlusion of vertebral arteries in the treatment of unclippable vertebrobasilar aneurysms","volume":"74","author":"Aymard","year":"1991"},{"issue":"6","key":"b5-peds1210","series-title":"Neurosurg Focus","first-page":"E9","article-title":"History of surgery for cerebrovascular disease in children.
