Abstract:
Angiography demonstrated an aneurysm of the left anterior cerebral artery in a 4-month-old baby who was admitted for subarachnoid hemorrhage. A surgical cure with long-term follow-up course was achieved. Clinical and pathogenetic aspects are presented. The rarity of such lesions in childhood and their successful surgical treatment are discussed briefly.
