Abstract
The case is presented of an isolated intramedullary posterior spinal artery aneurysm at the C-2 level in a 3-year-old girl. Quadriplegia related to probable intramedullary hemorrhage was the presenting symptom. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed findings consistent with an intramedullary vascular lesion, and vertebral angiography confirmed this to be an aneurysm of the posterior spinal artery. No associated vascular abnormalities were noted, and the aneurysm was successfully resected. Previous reports of isolated spinal aneurysms are reviewed.
