[[Basilar artery aneurysm]]s can be graded according to their diameter into small, (<12 mm), large (12–25 mm), and giant (>25 mm)

===== Distal basilar artery aneurysms =====

Distal [[basilar artery aneurysm]]s (DBAs) consist of [[Basilar apex aneurysm]] and basilar artery-[[superior cerebellar artery]] bifurcation (BA-SCA) aneurysms
