Saccular aneurysm of infancy and early childhood.

A case of intracranial saccular aneurysm occurring in early childhood and presenting with sudden dysphasia and hemiplegia is reported. A review of the literature emphasizes the rarity of this lesion. Despite a significant preoperative neurological deficit, the patient tolerated aneurysm clipping and recovered well. The majority of reported cases involve males under 2 years old. Aneurysms in infants have a distribution different from that seen in adults. Microscopic examination of these lesions fails to show any evidence of inflammation or atherosclerosis. The data suggest that the pathogenesis of these rare childhool lesions differs from that of adult saccular aneurysms.

Intraoperative sonography through a burr hole: guide for brain biopsy.

Sonographic imaging of the brain was accomplished through a burr hole using a small, real-time, 5 MHz transducer in five patients. Brain tumors were accurately imaged, corresponding closely in morphology to the computed tomographic scan. Intraoperative sonography through a burr hole allows flexibility in technique and greatly facilitates brain biopsy procedures.
