Description
Summary:[Objective :] Treatment of an unruptured aneurysm at the origin of duplicated middle cerebral artery (DMCA) by coil embolization using balloon remodeling has not been reported. We report a case of coil embolization using balloon remodeling for an unruptured aneurysm at the origin of DMCA. [Case Presentation :] A 71-year-old female was found to have an unruptured aneurysm at the origin of DMCA during an examination for headache. Coil embolization using balloon remodeling for the wide neck aneurysm to preserve both the internal carotid artery (ICA) and DMCA was successful. The perioperative course was uneventful. [Conclusion :] This treatment enables complete embolization, and preserves both the ICA and DMCA. Thus, it is useful for aneurysms at the origin of DMCA.
