Microsurgery for a ruptured intracranial aneurysm in a 3-year-old child : A case report

© 2020 The Author(s)..

INTRODUCTION: Pediatric intracranial aneurysms are rare, with some different characteristics from those in adults. Here, we present a case of distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm which we believe the first case from Vietnam.

PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 3 years old boy presented with headache, lethargic and hemiparesis was diagnosed ruptured distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm with CTA. 10 days before admission in our hospital, the toddler was admitted in local hospital with diagnosis of SAH without more accurate findings. Clipping microsurgery of aneurysms with left interhemispheric approach was done with good outcome.

DISCUSSION: The epidermiology, presentation and diagnosis and strategy of treatments as well as their outcomes were discussed. We also discussed our thoughts about our case within the limited-resource condition such as in Vietnam.

CONCLUSION: Pediatric intracranial anerusyms are rare but should be recognised in neurosurgical practice. Surgery is an effective treatment method.
