Coiling Is Effective for Pediatric Brain Aneurysms : Other treatments that have stood the test of time are clipping, embolization, and/or surgery.

Angiography shows an untreated giant aneurysm in a 12-year-old child.

The same untreated lesion is shown in axial contrast computed tomography.

Coronal computed tomography shows the same untreated giant aneurysm.

Angiography shows resolution of the aneurysm after treatment with coiling.

A pretreatment sagittal noncontrast CT scan shows the same child.

An axial contrast computed tomography shows the child, pretreatment.

Lateral angiograph of the child shows a vertebral artery injection, precoiling.
