title: Multiple cerebral aneurysms in a neonate: occlusion and rupture.
abstract: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in a neonate is exceedingly uncommon. The authors report the case of a neonate with a large anterior communicating artery aneurysm, accessory left middle cerebral artery aneurysm, and left internal carotid artery (ICA) fusiform aneurysm. The neonate suffered from occlusion of the left ICA and aneurysm rupture. The large aneurysm was treated with detachable coils and the patient made a significant recovery. Of the 15 case reports of cerebral aneurysms in neonates that have been published, none has contained a description of multiple aneurysms or a discussion of endovascular treatment.
