Intracranial arterial aneurysms in infancy and childhood
Child'S Brain
|January 1, 1977
Insights
Pediatric intracranial arterial aneurysms are rare, with most cases occurring at the internal carotid artery bifurcation. This study highlights unique features of these defects in young patients.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Surgery
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
Background:
- Intracranial arterial aneurysms are uncommon in children.
- Previous studies have not extensively detailed pediatric aneurysm characteristics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present cases of intracranial arterial aneurysms in patients under 15 years of age.
- To describe the specific features and locations of these aneurysms in a pediatric population.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of eleven pediatric cases treated between 1959 and 1976.
- Analysis of aneurysm location, morphology, and associated peculiarities.
Main Results:
- Eleven cases of intracranial arterial aneurysms in patients under 15 years were identified.
- A significant number of aneurysms were found at the internal carotid artery bifurcation.
- Unique characteristics of aneurysms at this specific location were observed.
Conclusions:
- The internal carotid artery bifurcation is a notable site for intracranial aneurysms in children.
- Pediatric intracranial aneurysms exhibit distinct features requiring specialized consideration.
Abstract:
Eleven cases of intracranial arterial aneurysms in patients under 15 years of age, treated from 1959 to 1976, are presented. The preponderance of aneurysms at the internal carotid artery bifurcation and the peculiarities of the defects in this location are remarkable.
