The present report describes the case of a 70-year-old woman with an incidentally detected, asymptomatic, small basilar tip non-thrombosed aneurysm who experienced rupture of the aneurysm 2 years after coiling. Cerebral angiography taken on the day of rupture revealed only small recanalization of the aneurysm neck with no dome-filling. This is the first report of delayed rupture due to minor recurrence of a previously unruptured small asymptomatic cerebral aneurysm after saccular coil packing. A literature review of 26 reports of late bleeding after coil embolization of previously unruptured cerebral aneurysms showed that dome-filling after coil embolization, symptomatic aneurysms and large/giant aneurysms all increase the risk of delayed rupture in previously unruptured aneurysms after saccular coil packing.}, pages = {54--61}, title = {Delayed rupture of a basilar artery aneurysm treated with coils: Case report and review of the literature}, volume = {40}, year = {2013} }
