Existem na literatura neurocirúrgica relatos sobre aneurismas gigantes. O tratamento ideal ainda não foi definitivamente estabelecido, variando a conduta entre a ligadura da carótida cervical e a craniotomia com clipagem e ressecção do aneurisma.
RELATO DO CASODermatological examination of a male child, 2 years and 10 months old, revealed brownish macules (some keratosic and interspersed with hypopigmented patches) on the the face and with bleeding papulo-erythematous lesions on the upper lip, together with pinpoint hyperchromic, reddish-brown macular lesions on the abdomen and limbs (Figures 1 and 2).

Head circumference 38.5 cm, chest 38 cm and abdomen 40 cm (Figures 2 and 3). Seizures experienced since birth. Anato-pathological exam of lip lesion showed pyogenic granuloma. Cranial CT scan showed right-sided open-lip schizencephaly, periventricular calcifications, absence of septum pellucidum and dilatation of the lateral ventricles. A brain MRI showed supratential dilatation, schizencephaly, agenesis of the septum pellucidum and septo-optic dysplasia. Ophthalmologic evaluation: positive and symmetric red reflex, poor response to light and changes in pupillary reflexes. Normal ECG and echocardiogram. Normal karyotype, 46XY. Upper GI endoscopy: sliding hiatal hernia. USG of the scrotum did not find the testicles and epididymis. No ectopic testis. Serology for HIV, herpes, toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus (CMV) negative. The clinical and laboratory tests were compatible with the DeSanctis-Cacchione syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
