Abstract:
Aneurysms arising from the peripheral distribution of the cerebral arteries are very rare, and those aneurysms are mostly mycotic in origin. We have experienced a rare case of non-mycotic, peripheral aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery. A clinical description of our case as well as a review of the literature about possible etiologies contributing to the peripheral aneurysmal formation is presented.
