Fenestrated vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms are rare vascular lesions. Microsurgical intervention is extremely difficult due to the complex anatomy in vicinity of these aneurysms. Endovascular neurosurgery appears be safe and should considered as first modality treatment. This case study details treatment an unruptured fusiform fenestrated aneurysm with endovascular occlusion stent-assisted coiling. The optimal angiographic exposure selective microcatheterization were challenging...
