Ruptured AComA aneurysm and asymptomatic bilateral ACA vasospasm in an infant: surgical case report.

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are localized dilations of the cerebral vasculature, representing the leading cause for non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and an important source of morbidity and mortality. Despite it being a frequent pathology and most often diagnosed incidentally, IAs in infants are a very rare occurrence, and the ruptured variant is exceptional. A 4-month-old boy with a negative family history was brought to our department because of several episodes of incoercible vomiting and fever.

Ventriculocisternal Shunt Redivivus: Third Ventricle-Cisterna Magna Intradural Shunt: A Technical Note and Case Report.

Objective: To present a hitherto unreported modification of the classic Torkildsen procedure: passing a catheter intracranially, between the third ventricle and cisterna magna.

Methods: We applied our technique to a 56-year-old man who presented to our department for treatment of a pineal region mass.

Results: The patient was placed in sitting position and the mass was gross totally removed through a supracerebellar infratentorial approach.
