“…The incidence of aneurysms in these arteriosclerotic patients is low. It is recognized that the basic defect in the causation of 'berry' aneurysms of the circle of Willis is a maldevelopment of the embryonic vasculature resulting in a deficiency of the elastic layer at the bifurcation of a vessel (Forbus, 1930;Bremer, 1943;Padget, 1944 reports of the occurrence of cerebral aneurysms in children (Newcomb and Munns, 1949;Jones and Shearburn, 1961;Garcia-Chavez and Moossy, 1965) and the absence of the elastic layer in the wall of the aneurysm (Sugar, 1951). The finding ofthese congenital lesionsin more than one member of a family raises the questions concerning the role of genetic factors in their causation.…”

“…Only a few additional cases have been reported [13,32,50] since the recent review of the literature noted above found 131 cases of aneurysms in infants less than 12 months old from 1943 to 2006 [1]. The actual incidence of aneurysms in infants is unknown.…”

“…The incidence of pediatric intracerebral aneurysms is 0.17–4% of all cases [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Only 131 cases of cerebral aneurysms have been reported in infants younger than 12 months [3,5,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. Likewise, there are very few case series reporting dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) in this population.…”

“…The clinical presentation of intracranial aneurysm in neonates is extremely variable and includes irritability, vomiting, seizures, apnea, proptosis, ptosis and cyanosis [6,7,8,9,10,11, 13, 16, 17,19,20,21,22,23,24]. These could account for the frequent misdiagnosis of this condition in the neonatal age group and could explain the terminal outcome in 5 of the reported cases of neonatal aneurysms in whom the diagnosis was made after death [13, 15, 17, 20].…”

“…Their occurrence in the neonatal age group (up to 28 days) is exceptional, with only 20cases being reported in the literature as per an extensive review by the authors [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]. However, no case of spontaneous resolution of a giant intracranial cavernous segment internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm in a neonate is reported till date.…”
