Abstract
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. We describe the case of a 2-month-old male patient who presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures for 4days. 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. 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.
