“…A few studies have documented spontaneous regression of distal choroidal artery aneurysms after 6 weeks-11 months. [8,20] CONCLUSION Symptomatic MPCA aneurysms are highly uncommon and typically present with severe headaches and massive intraventricular hemorrhage. Endovascular glue embolization may be an appealing option since it avoids the complications of craniotomy and dissection while providing superior clinical outcomes.…”

Background: The medial posterior choroidal artery (MPCA) aneurysm is extremely uncommon. Thus yet, just a few cases have been reported. Due to the deep position, narrow lumen, fragile walls, and extensive tortuosity, both endovascular and microsurgical procedures are strictly limited. A case study of successful endovascular glue embolization of a left MPCA aneurysm and a literature review is included in this report. Case Description: A 17-year-old female arrived at our institution 2 days after suffering a major intraventricular hemorrhage with a minor subarachnoid hemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a left MPCA aneurysm. The patient underwent a successful endovascular glue embolization and had a favorable functional outcome. Conclusion: Endovascular glue embolization yielded favorable clinical and angiographic results in MPCA aneurysms where microcatheter access and maneuverability are challenging.

Background: Lesions in the temporomesial region can be reached by various approaches: subtemporal, transsylvian, transcortical, interhemispheric parieto-occipital, or supracerebellar transtentorial (SCTT). The choice varies according to the characteristics of the lesion and neighboring structures. Case Description: In this clinical case, it is presented a 56-year-old man with long-term evolution of drug-resistant epilepsy secondary to a cavernoma in the left parahippocampal gyrus. After assessing the lesion, it was decided a SCTT approach for its resection in a semi-sitting position, to avoid language disorders or visual damage. The surgery was uneventful and the patient did not present epileptic seizures during 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: Performing a SCTT is safe and feasible option for resection of lesions located in the basal temporomesial region without causing damage to neighboring structures, especially those located in the middle and posterior two-thirds of temporal region.
