Ruptured distal middle cerebral artery aneurysm in a pediatric patient: illustrative case
Pediatric aneurysms presenting with IPH are exceedingly rare. In this patient, an open surgical intervention was favored due to the presence of an IPH and the distal location of the aneurysm. Pediatric aneurysms may have a different etiology than that of adults. Because of this difference, these lesions require special considerations with regard to workup and treatment. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24373.
