title: [Basilar artery aneurysm: report of a case].
abstract: We present a case of a patient with vertigo, disequilibrium and facial palsy. Nistagmus features pointed to a diagnosis of central vertigo. MRI showed a basilar aneurysm that compressed the brain stem and caused a stroke. We review the diagnosis.
