Infectious intracranial aneurysm associated with : A case report and literature review.

is a known fish pathogen associated with numerous aquacultural outbreaks. In humans, primarily causes infective endocarditis, but infections involving other organs have also been reported. We report the first case of ruptured infectious intracranial aneurysm associated with bacteraemia without concomitant infective endocarditis. The diagnosis of a left distal posterior cerebral artery mycotic aneurysm was based on a computed tomography angiogram, catheter angiogram and histopathological examination of the resected aneurysm. Here, we review the literature on human infections and describe the clinical characteristics, risk factors, management and outcomes of the cases identified to date.
