Abstract
A patient with unusual angiographic changes of a dissecting aneurysm of the basilar artery is presented. Initial angiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a typical dissecting aneurysm. However, a follow-up study demonstrated a saccular aneurysmal dilatation of the proximal part of the dissection. The importance of the follow-up study, particularly in regard to the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging and the pathogenesis of this change are discussed.
