Background Advances in the endovascular armamentarium, such as flow diversion and stenting devices, provide treatment options for posterior circulation intracranial aneurysms (IAs) with complex angioarchitecture. Delayed IA rupture following flow diversion is a rare but often fatal complication. Giant IAs likely pose a higher risk because of the extensive clot formation and its suspected detrimental effect on the aneurysmal wall. However, mechanisms that lead to delayed rupture are poorly understood, and few cases provide thorough documentation of macroscopic and histologic findings. Clinical Presentation After our 60-year-old patient with a giant basilar aneurysm underwent treatment with a LEO stent, the postoperative clinical course remained uneventful until day 4 when he suffered an unexpected fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Autopsy demonstrated extensive hemorrhage, large intraluminal thrombus, and ruptured IA wall. The aneurysm, which ruptured linearly, was completely filled with a clot that seemed to have outgrown the thin aneurysm wall. Histologic specimens revealed thinning and degenerative changes of the aneurysm's wall, and sparse neutrophilic and histiocytic inflammatory infiltrate adjacent to the rupture site, a finding consistent with recently published cases of IA rupture. Conclusions Our case report highlighting the clinical course and autopsy findings of a fatal SAH shortly after stenting this giant basilar artery aneurysm adds to the few previously reported fatal cases of IA rupture after endovascular treatment. Our macroscopic and histologic findings suggested that multimodal changes of inflammation, wall sheer tress (mechanical), and recanalization were involved.

Abstract Giant aneurysm of the basilar artery presenting as a 3rd ventricular tumor is an unusual phenomenon. We are reporting a case in which a patient with a giant aneurysm of the basilar artery presented with symptoms of headaches and gait disturbance secondary to obstructive hydrocephalus. Although giant aneurysms presenting as mass lesions have been reported, the computed axial tomographic findings in our case were unique. Giant aneurysms of the basilar artery may be considered in the differential diagnosis of 3rd ventricular tumors.
