Abstract:
:We report a 20-month-old girl with an unruptured aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery. The initial sign was complex partial seizures. Magnetic resonance angiography showed an aneurysm of the right middle cerebral artery. Cerebral angiography confirmed the presence of a saccular aneurysm. After 3 months, the aneurysm spontaneously thrombosed without neurological deficit. The seizures were controlled by anti-convulsants. The aneurysm was probably near the focus of the complex partial seizures. This is a rare case of a childhood cerebral artery aneurysm that first manifested itself by complex partial seizures.
