ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cerebral aneurysms in children have a low incidence and accounts for less than 4% of all cerebral aneurysms. These aneurysms have been linked to various factors. Severe headache, seizures, and motor-sensory deficits are common presentations. CASE REPORT We describe the case of a 2-month-old male patient who presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures for 4 days. At the hospital, he was stabilized with ventilatory support, sedation, and antiepileptic drugs. A NCCT (Head) showed intraparenchymal hemorrhage in the left fronto-parieto-temporal lobe and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Subsequently a CT angiogram revealed an aneurysm of the left M3 segment of MCA. Successfully, the patient underwent microsurgical clipping of aneurysm and evacuation of hematoma.CONCLUSIONS:
Pediatric cerebral aneurysms differ from their adult counterparts, mainly in their etiology and evolution. As per literature, aneurysmal clipping and neurological endovascular therapy have shown similar results.
