Abstract

Vertebral artery (VA) aneurysms in the paediatric population are a rare but a serious condition. However, the epidemiology of paediatric VA aneurysms is poorly understood and there is little consensus on what constitutes the appropriate treatment. Although multiple treatment options are available, including surgery, endovascular approaches, coil embolization and parent artery occlusion, there is limited clinical evidence regarding which approach is most optimal. This review outlines the current literature and evidence outlining the epidemiology, presentation, pathogenesis and treatment of paediatric VA aneurysms.
