ABSTRACT
Ruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm is more prone to re-bleeding and thus needs immediate surgical management. We present a case of 47 years old male with ruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm which was immediately treated by endovascular surgery. Coil occlusion of the vertebral artery at the aneurysm site was performed. As emergency open surgery is often not possible, this case shows that endovascular surgery is an effective and helpful alternative.
