False aneurysm complicating carotid endarterectomy.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE:Because of their rarity, the pathogenesis and clinical features of isolated spinal artery aneurysms are still unclear, and their diagnoses and treatments are challenging. We report a case of an isolated posterior spinal artery aneurysm and review previous reports thoroughly to identify the gen...
