Intracranial aneurysms are rarely present in the paediatric age group, and such aneurysms within the anterior circulation are even more rare. Intracranial aneurysms in children differ from adult aneurysms in size, distribution, and incidence of symptoms. We report a 3-year-old girl with an anterior communicating artery aneurysm, who presented with subarachnoid haemorrhage. The patient underwent a pterional craniotomy and clipping of the aneurysm. The postoperative period was uneventful. We review the literature and discuss the characteristics of aneurysms in early childhood.
颅内动脉瘤在儿童年龄组中很少见，而在前循环中的此类动脉瘤更为罕见。儿童颅内动脉瘤在大小、分布和症状发生率方面与成人动脉瘤不同。我们报告一名3岁女孩，患有前交通动脉瘤，表现为蛛网膜下腔出血。该患者接受了翼点开颅术和动脉瘤夹闭术。术后过程顺利。我们回顾文献并讨论幼儿期动脉瘤的特征。
