ABSTRACT

RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN: Los aneurismas disecantes de la arteria basilar tienen un curso clínico impredecible que, eventualmente, evoluciona a un accidente cerebrovascular hemorrágico o isquémico grave. Por otro lado, su abordaje terapéutico es controvertido y no existen líneas claras de tratamiento. CASO CLÍNICO: Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 28 años con un infarto del tallo cerebral secundario a aneurisma disecante de la arteria basilar, tratado exitosamente con dispositivo endoluminal redireccionador de flujo (FRED). CONCLUSIÓN: El tratamiento endovascular con FRED de los aneurismas disecantes parece ofrecer ventajas sobre las técnicas quirúrgicas abiertas y stents tradicionales, en casos seleccionados.
