BACKGROUND: @entity438 (PCA) are a distinct rarity and present with some peculiar morphologic features and specific clinical findings. These @entity439 can be managed endovascularly with good results. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical features and endovascular management of @entity438 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between 2000 and 2008, we treated 24 @entity1 (14 male and 10 female; mean age: 36 years) with @entity438 . Clinical presentations, radiologic images, and endovascular management were reviewed. RESULTS: There were 11 saccular @entity439 , including 4 giant or large @entity439 , and 13 dissecting @entity439 , including 11 giant or large @entity439 . Of the 24 @entity1 , 13 presented with @entity548 and 6 with @entity51 . Five @entity1 presented with @entity10 without any @entity51 . Parent vessel occlusion was performed in 12 @entity1 , selective coil embolization was performed in 11 @entity1 , and 1 @entity1 conservatively. Eighteen @entity1 had a good recovery, 5 had a moderate disability (one with 1 @entity227 after the treatment) related to @entity548 , @entity2553 , or @entity1188 before @entity439 trapping, and 1 @entity1 died because of rebleeding. The conservatively treated @entity1 made a good recovery. CONCLUSION: @entity438 have specific clinical characteristics compared with @entity439 located elsewhere. Endovascular technique can achieve good outcomes despite the aneurysmal site and size.
