Abstract:
The clinical and pathologic findings of a 10-month-old girl with congenital heart disease who died after rupture of a congenital distal basilar artery aneurysm are reported. The patient developed transient minimal oculomotor nerve paresis 7 days prior to suffering a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage. The finding of transient third nerve dysfunction, particularly in the context of recurrent syncope, should prompt investigation for an intracranial arterial aneurysm.
