Middle cerebral artery aneurysm in a premature neonate

Chan-Young Choi et al. J Korean Neurosurg Soc. 2013 Jun.

Abstract

Intracranial aneurysms in the neonate are very rare and their clinicopathological findings remain unclear. We report a 26-day-old premature neonate who underwent microsurgical clipping on the ruptured middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm successfully with a review of relevant literature.

Keywords: Cerebral aneurysm; Clipping; Neonate.
