Two Patients with Large Aneurysms in Whom Coil Embolization with Overlapping LVIS Stents Was Performed.

Objective: We report two patients with unruptured large aneurysms treated by overlapping stent-assisted coil embolization using low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) stents.

Case Presentation: Case 1: An 80-year-old woman presented with abducens nerve palsy due to an internal carotid artery aneurysm. Case 2: A 75-year-old man presented with a partially thrombosed fusiform aneurysm in the vertebral artery (VA).

Gradual Growth of Spontaneous Dissecting Aneurysm of the Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery is uncommon, and simultaneous onset of multiple dissecting aneurysms is rare in patients without congenital or traumatic risk factors. A few reports suggest that extracranial internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysms can grow after SAH due to another intracranial dissecting aneurysm. The present report describes two cases in which gradual growth of unruptured dissecting aneurysm of extracranial internal carotid artery occurred after SAH due to ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery and in which carotid artery stenting was subsequently performed.

Intracranial meningioma as initial clinical manifestation of occult lung carcinoma: case report.

Intracranial meningioma with intratumor metastasis have been occasionally reported. However, to our knowledge, there are almost no reports of malignant tumors initially discovered due to metastasis to meningioma. A 74-year-old woman presented with amnesia.
