A 46 year old patient presented with a right amaurosis fugax and left hemiparesis. A SCD was diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography. It presented with a pseudoaneurysm. Intervention both pseudoaneurysm were treated with stents. Conclusion: DA is the method of choice for the diagnosis and evolutive dynamic control of SCD. Stents are useful pseudoaneurysm resolution
