Giant Intracranial Aneurysms in Infants: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Intracranial aneurysms are extremely rare in infants and differ from those in adults in their mode of presentation, location, size, and long-term outcome. Their treatment is very complex. Our case is a 24-month-old infant who featured a giant aneurysm of the basilar trunk diagnosed at the age of 04 months by an alternate syndrome of sudden onset, with a follow-up for 2 years. Therapeutic management is much discussed between surgical treatment, endovascular treatment, and therapeutic abstention which depends on the age, location, size, and mode of installation of these aneurysms.
