Recovery of neurological complications following endovascular parent artery occlusion of ruptured a2 segment anterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm: a case report
To report on the recovery of audiovestibular loss and facial palsy after endovascular parent artery occlusion (ePAO) of a ruptured a2 aneurysm and to investigate the significance of ePAO as a treatment option.
Key Findings:
ePAO can lead to recovery of neurological deficits despite IAA occlusion.
The patient improved from H-B grade III facial palsy to grade II and experienced recovery of hearing.
At 24 months, the patient had mild hearing loss but was capable of daily activities.
Interpretation:
The case suggests that despite the theoretical risk of permanent audiovestibular loss due to IAA occlusion, recovery is possible, indicating the potential for ePAO as a viable treatment option for similar cases.
Limitations:
Limited number of cases reported on recovery after ePAO for ruptured a2 aneurysms, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.
Long-term outcomes and recovery mechanisms remain unclear, necessitating further research.
Conclusion:
ePAO may be a feasible treatment for ruptured a2 aneurysms, with potential for neurological recovery, including hearing and facial function.
