Abstract We present the case of a patient who developed significant vasospasm on the 9th postoperative day after the uneventful clipping of an unruptured asymptomatic berry aneurysm. We discuss the literature and potential mechanisms for vasospasm in the absence of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Cerebral vasospasm is a source of morbidity and mortality, not only associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) but also with endovascular procedures. Treatment of vasospasm associated with SAH include trans-luminal balloon angioplasty and intra-arterial delivery of vasodilator medications. We present a case report of a patient who underwent a mechanical thrombectomy for stroke and suffered from vasospasm. This severe flow-limiting vasospasm was successfully treated with the Trevo stent device. Although stent retrievers have become more widespread for thrombectomy, vasospasm treatment has not been often described in the literature. Further study is needed to determine if this is a viable technique for treating resistant vasospasm.
