Fungal symptomatic intracranial aneurysm treated with a flow diverting stent: A case report

CONCLUSION: IIAs grow rapidly, and the risk of rupture is high due to the weakening of the aneurysmal wall. To reduce the risks of rupture and recurrence after treatment, the infection should be treated before inserting a flow-diverting stent. Flow-diverting stent placement may be an effective treatment for IIA once the original infection has been cured.PMID:38468648 | PMC:PMC10927200 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_942_2023
