When an aneurysm pretends to be a tumor: thrombosed posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm mimicking a neoplasm in a pediatric patient. Illustrative case
This case highlights the importance of considering thrombosed aneurysms in pediatric patients with atypical intracranial lesions. Multidisciplinary collaboration and advanced imaging are crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management. Documenting such cases enhances understanding, refines diagnostic strategies, and improves patient care. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2592.
