Infectious intracranial aneurysm: endovascular treatment with onyx case report and review of the literature
Abstract
Intracranial infectious (mycotic) aneurysms are very rare, but continue to be challenging and technically demanding, which need careful diagnosis and therapy. We present an 18-year-old man with an intracranial infectious aneurysm located on the left posterior cerebral artery who was successfully treated with endovascular embolization by a liquid embolic agent (onyx) and who recovered well.
