title: Ruptured distal middle cerebral artery aneurysm: Case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This report describes a rare case of a distal middle cerebral artery (dMCA) aneurysm.
  
  
  METHODS
  That developed a right intracerebral haematoma and subarachnoid haemorrhage. It was treated by surgical exploration and clipping via pterional approach.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinical findings and surgical approaches of dMCA aneurysm are different from proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. Microneurosurgical clipping is the most effective treatment of dMCA aneurysm.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We comprehensively review the literature related to these rare aneurysms within the temporal lobe, surgical anatomy of the dMCA aneurysm.
