title: Ruptured pseudoaneurysm as a cause of spontaneous intracerebral bleed in a 3-month old infant.
abstract: Ruptured intracranial aneurysms in infants are very rare but if missed can lead to poor outcomes. Spontaneously dissecting false aneurysms have been described only in a handful of cases. We report a case of a three-month old girl with deteriorating neurological function due to a ruptured distal middle cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm.
