A 74-year-old man suffered sudden loss of consciousness at home. Computed tomography revealed severe subarachnoid hemorrhage and an unusual posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysm with vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD). The aneurysm was located in the right hypothalamus. VBD associated with a distal lesion makes endovascular treatment difficult because of the elongation and tortuosity of the access route. However, endovascular coil embolization was successful for the present ruptured PCA aneurysm with VBD.
