Posterior circulation aneurysms are more likely to rupture than those in the anterior circulation but also pose more of a challenge for endovascular treatment or neurosurgical clipping. Aneurysms arising from the posterior cerebral artery are rare; dissecting aneurysms are even rarer. Dissecting posterior cerebral artery aneurysms can be spontaneous or post traumatic. Our case depicts a patient with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured, dissecting posterior cerebral artery aneurysm who underwent successful endovascular treatment by means of flow diversion.
