Isolated spinal artery aneurysms (ISAA) are a rare cause of intracranial and spinal hemorrhages with unclear pathophysiology and natural history and non-standardized management strategies. We hereby present two cases of ruptured ISAA of posterior spinal arteries treated with open surgery and embolization, respectively. Case presentations are followed by a comprehensive literature review on ISAA pathophysiology, natural history and management strategies.
