A large peri-aneurysmal cyst formation following coil embolization of an unruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm: A case report and review of the literature.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Peri-aneurysmal cyst formation is a rare but serious complication that may develop after endovascular treatment. Case Description: A 72-year-old woman underwent endovascular treatment for an incidentally found oblong middle cerebral artery aneurysm measuring 17 mm in its largest diameter, resulting in complete obliteration. Peri-aneurysmal parenchymal edema, however, began to develop 1 year after the procedure. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging revealed the emergence of a small cyst and a gradual increase in peri-aneurysmal edema in the basal ganglia. A susceptibility-weighted imaging showed hemosiderin deposition in the basal ganglia and cerebral cortices around the aneurysm. The cyst finally grew to 55 mm at 71 months after the initial treatment, causing headaches and cognitive dysfunction. Wide fenestration of the cyst wall, pathologically confirmed as gliosis, resulted in shrinkage of the cyst and rapid improvement of symptoms. Conclusion: A review of the literature identified 14 cases of symptomatic peri-aneurysmal cyst formation following coil embolization, including the present case. Based on this review, peri-aneurysmal cyst formation should be anticipated after repeated endovascular treatments for large aneurysms embedded in the brain, particularly when peri-aneurysmal brain edema develops. Continuing microhemorrhage from the aneurysm or vasa vasorum may play a role in the cyst formation.
