Abstract

AbstractThe persistent hypoglossal artery is a rare carotid basilar anastomosis associated with hypoplastic or absent vertebral arteries. We report a case of clipping of a 2.5 cm size giant aneurysm just distal to the persistent hypoglossal branch, using intra-arterial balloon occlusion and adenosine induced near flow arrest method. It was an anaesthetic challenge to maintain haemodynamic and homeostatic equilibrium throughout the procedure.
