Non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in aplastic or twig-like middle cerebral artery: A case report and literature review.

Background: Aplastic or twig-like middle cerebral artery (Ap/T-MCA) is a rare vascular anomaly that can cause hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Ap/T-MCA can induce aneurysms due to the fragility of the vessel wall, consequently leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage. Herein, we report a case of Ap/T-MCA with subarachnoid hemorrhage without an aneurysm.

A case of simple stenting for ruptured basilar perforator aneurysm.

Ruptured aneurysms in perforating arteries are uncommon. We report a case of a basilar perforator artery aneurysm that was treated successfully using simple stenting to induce a rectifying effect without using a coil. In this case, coiling for the aneurysm was attempted initially, but it failed because of anatomical and practical problems.
