Abstract

English

Sulla base di una revisione casistica degli aneurismi del distretto vertebro-basilare osservati negli ultimi died anni, sono stati raccolti 48 pazienti, 32 dei quali operati, portatori di 53 aneurismi vertebro-basilari e tre aneurismi del distretto carotideo. In sei casi veniva riscontrata associazione con malformazioni artero-venose sottotentoriali. Nella gran parte dei casi l'indagine angiografica è stata completata da esame TC e talvolta da RM. Seguendo la letteratura in argomento gli aneurismi sono stati classificati secondo criteri di sede, dimensioni e morfologia. Nella trattazione vengono quindi distinte le lesioni ad inserzione sull'asse vertebro-basilare e le forme distali. Il quadro di esordio clinico ed i reperti TC, salvo eccezioni, appaiono poco specifici per una localizzazione topografica della malformazione vascolare.
