Abstract

A 14 year old child who had three episodes of subarachnoid haemorrhage, was found by spinal arteriography to have a cervical extramedullary arterial aneurysm combined with an intramedullary arteriovenous angioma. The source of the bleeding, the aneurysm, was excised surgically but the intramedullary arteriovenous angioma was not accessible for operation.

Résumé

Description du cas d'un enfant de quatorze ans chez qui, après trois hémorragies sous arachnoïdiennes antérieures, il fut possible de démontrer, lors de l'angiographie médullaire cervicale, l'existence d'un anévrisme artériel extramédullaire associé à un angiome artérioveineux intramédullaire. La cause de l'hémorragie—l'anevrisme artériel—fut supprimée chirurgicalement. L'angiome artério-veineux intramédullair était inabordable.

Zusammenfassung

Falldarstellung eines 14jährigen Kindes, bei dem nach 3 vorangegangenen Subarachnoidalblutungen durch spinalarteriographische Untersuchungen als Ursache ein zervikales extramedulläres arterielles Aneurysma in Kombination mit einem intramedullären arteriovenösen Angiom nachgewiesen werden konnte. Die Blutungsquelle — das arterielle Aneurysma — wurde operativ ausgeschaltet, das intramedullär lokalisierte arteriovenöse Angiom war dem operativen Eingriff nicht zugänglich.
