Abstract
We report a rare case of a traumatic aneurysm which developed after clipping surgery with review of the relevant literature. Endovascular treatment using coiling and stent assistance taking into account technical considerations is described. Monitoring of the aneurysmal pressure showed marked decrease immediately after the stent emplacement.
