Pediatric cerebral aneurysms are rare, and pediatric anterior choroidal artery aneurysms are very rarely reported. A 14-month-old male with no personal or family history of connective tissue disorders or Moyamoya disease presented with a right temporal intracerebral hemorrhage with intraventricular extension. CTA was negative for vascular pathology, but digital subtraction angiography revealed an anterior choroidal artery aneurysm that was successfully coiled. This case underscores the importance of performing digital subtraction angiography in children presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage concerning for vascular pathology even if non-invasive vascular imaging is negative.
小儿脑动脉瘤罕见,而小儿前脉络膜动脉瘤则极为罕见。一名 14 个月大的男性,无结缔组织疾病或烟雾病个人或家族史,表现为右侧颞叶脑内出血伴脑室延伸。CTA 未见血管病变,但数字减影血管造影显示前脉络膜动脉瘤,成功进行了线圈栓塞。本病例强调了即使非侵入性血管成像为阴性,对于有血管病变可能的颅内出血患儿,进行数字减影血管造影的重要性。
