Isolated cervical anterior spinal artery (CASA) aneurysms are extremely rare with most of them mostly associated with arteriovenous malformation. The underlying pathology is not known but some factors leading to the aneurysm are inflammatory, infection and connective tissue disorders. Trauma with formation of pseudoaneurysm has also been reported. We report a case which presented with fourth ventricle bleed and was managed successfully with conservative treatment.
孤立性颈前脊髓动脉(CASA)动脉瘤极为罕见,其中大多数主要与动静脉畸形相关。其潜在病理机制尚不清楚,但导致动脉瘤形成的一些因素包括炎症、感染和结缔组织疾病。也有创伤导致假性动脉瘤形成的报道。我们报告一例表现为第四脑室出血并经保守治疗成功治愈的病例。
