Progressive thrombosis and involution of a pediatric giant middle cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm following superficial temporal artery–to–middle cerebral artery bypass: illustrative case
This is the first case report of successful treatment of a pediatric giant MCA pseudoaneurysm with STA-MCA bypass, obviating the need for additional treatment in a planned stepwise strategy. STA-MCA bypass alone may be an alternative for the treatment of certain complex MCA aneurysms in pediatric patients when standard approaches are not straightforward. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2591.
