SPONTANEOUS THROMBOSIS OF A LARGE SACCULAR ANEURYSM OF THE V4 SEGMENT OF THE LEFT VERTEBRAL ARTERY IN A 5-YEAR-OLD CHILD Case Report

Spontaneous thrombosis, cerebral aneurysm, vertebral artery, large saccular aneurysmAbstract
Spontaneous thrombosis of an aneurysm today is one of the rare pathological conditions among cerebrovascular diseases, but nevertheless, it is increasingly being detected in clinical practice. Despite the high technical achievements and the development of general medical science, the etiology and pathogenesis of the development of spontaneous thrombosis remain debatable. This paper presents a clinical case of spontaneous thrombosis of a large saccular aneurysm of the V4 segment of the left vertebral artery in a 5-year-old child. The paper also contains a brief review of the literature on this topic. The unpredictability of the clinical course of spontaneously thrombosed aneurysm and the lack of a single protocol for the introduction of patients with this pathology can create dilemmas when choosing further treatment tactics.
