Abstract:
Intracranial arteriosclerotic aneurysm is most common in the basilar artery territories, in the old age group. Recently we have experienced a case of fusiform aneurysm of distal branch of middle cerebral artery in a 23 year old soldier. Surgical biopsy revealed it to be arteriosclerotic origin. And arteriosclerotic aneurysm in the young age seems extremely rare, but it seems also worthwhile bearing in mind of that possibility in young aneurysmal patients.
