Abstract

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the pediatric population is an extremely rare condition. We present an acute intracerebral hemorrhage in an 8-year-old boy, secondary to a ruptured middle cerebral artery cortical branch (M4 segment) aneurysm. There have been very few cases of cortical aneurysm reported in adults and we did not identify any pediatric cases in the literature to date.

Keywords

acute intracerebral hemorrhage - cortical cerebral aneurysm - pediatric
