Neuroradiol J. 2011 Dec 30;24(6):895-8. doi: 10.1177/197140091102400612. Epub 2011 Dec 23.

Abstract

We present a unique case of ruptured intradural ophthalmic artery aneurysm in a young man who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. By endovascular technique we successfully excluded the aneurysm from the circulation with preservation of antegrade flow in the ophthalmic artery. The presenting features and the technique of the treatment are described with a review of the literature.
