Abstract

The occurrence of intracranial aneurysms in the pediatric population is a rare phenomenon. An unusual case of aneurysmal dilatation of both petrous and cavernous carotid arteries and the vertebral-basilar junction in a child is presented. The underlying etiology, natural history, and possible modes of management are reviewed and discussed.
