Abstract
An 11-day-old male infant presented with subarachnoid and intraventricular haemorrhage caused by a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Magnetic resonance (MR) angiogram and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed a fusiform aneurysm 10 mm in diameter supplied by the proximal segment of the anterior cerebral artery (A1), with both distal segments (A2) arising from the aneurysm. The right A1 was aplastic. There have been 13 previous case reports of neonatal cerebral artery aneurysms, but only 1 of these has been fusiform. None of the earlier reports has mentioned dysplastic segments or other anomalies of the circle of Willis.
