Deep femoral artery aneurysms are very rare; particularly when isolated and occur simultaneously in both limbs. We report such a case of a misdiagnosed 16-year-old male presenting after hematoma evacuation was attempted for painful swelling in the left groin. Once the diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA), an emergency aneurysmectomy with deep femoral artery (DFA) ligation was performed on the left limb.

Pure acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is an uncommon clinical presentation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, and only rarely, the culprit is a cortical microaneurysm.Mortality can be high; thus, appropriate diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Due to its extreme rarity, there are no available guidelines.

The clinical manifestation of intracranial mycotic aneurysms (ICMAs), which are rare but carry high risks of rupture and early mortality, remains poorly understood. We present a case of an ICMA that rapidly developed and ruptured after the diagnosis of meningitis caused by (), which rarely causes bacterial meningitis. A 54-year-old man presented with a headache that worsened on coughing, without altered consciousness or vomiting.

This report presents an extremely rare case of fungal mycotic aneurysm due to Magnusiomyces capitatus in a 51-year-old immunocompromised woman. The diagnosis was based on multiple CT-scans and various samples positive for the pathogen identified by sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer region. Long-term treatment using caspofungin for previous candidemia would have promoted the dissemination of this intrinsically echinocandin-resistant fungus, from colonization sites in the lung and rectal areas.
