Abstract:
Infectious intracranial aneurysm induced by paragonimiasis is very rare in clinic. Interventional treatment is one of the effective therapies and regular antiparasite therapy is necessary after embolization. This retrospective study summarized one case of intracranial aneurysm caused by paragonimiasis involving the medical history, laboratory examination, imaging findings and treatment strategy, and analyzed the diagnosis and treatment of the disease with literature review.
