Four cases of posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms are described. The aneurysms were located at the P2 segment of PCA. All cases presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Endovascular treatment was performed, with occlusion of the aneurysm and parent vessel, using platinum coils. Two patients developed a homonymus lateral hemianopia after treatment.
