Aneurisma gigante da artéria cerebral posterior: (segmento P3) Relato de caso

Giant aneurysm of the posterior cerebral artery (P3 segment): case report

Resumos

Apresentamos caso de aneurisma gigante do segmento distal (P3) da artéria cerebral posterior. O aneurisma foi tratado microcirurgicamente pela via combinada proposta por Sano com clipagem do ramo terminal da artéria cerebral posterior próximo ao aneurisma. A paciente teve evolução pós operatória favorável, com lesão parcial e transitória do III nervo craniano. Revisão da literatura e discussão a respeito da anatomia e da abordagem cirúrgica são feitas. A raridade desta patologia justifica o relato deste caso.

aneurisma cerebral gigante; artéria cerebral posterior; abordagem microcirúrgica


A rare case of giant aneurysm of the P3 segment of the posterior cerebral artery is presented. The aneurysm was acessed through a combined approach proposed by Sano and the aneurysm was treated by proximal clipping. The patient had a good postoperative recovery without any neurological deficit. The anatomy and the operative approaches are discussed and the neurosurgical literature reviewed.
