Coil embolization of subarachnoid hemorrhage with ruptured persistent primitive olfactory artery aneurysm

CONCLUSION: Most aneurysms of the PPOA are formed at the hairpin turn, as observed in our patient; therefore, a hemodynamic mechanism may be involved in the etiology. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on treatment using intra-aneurysmal coil embolization, indicating that ours was the first case. As the long-term outcome of intra-aneurysmal coil embolization for PPOA aneurysm is unknown, careful follow-up will be necessary in the future.PMID:33948317 | PMC:PMC8088532 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_202_2021
