Description
Summary:Abstract A 15-month-old infant presented with an episode of acute agitation, characterized by crying, refusal to feed, and a focal seizure involving the left arm and leg lasting 1–2 min. Following the seizure, the infant fell asleep but experienced another brief seizure during transport to the hospital. Initial assessment at a private hospital in Mersin, Turkey, led to a referral to our center, where imaging revealed an intraparenchymal hemorrhage in the left frontobasal region. The hemorrhage extended into all ventricles and the right retrosellar area, with notable rightward shift and ventricular enlargement. CTA confirmed a ruptured Acom aneurysm with a bleb. Diagnostic angiography was performed, and an endovascular stent coiling procedure was performed without hematoma evacuation. At 1-year follow-up, patients' symptoms improved without neurological sequelae, and MR angiography revealed no residual filling in the aneurysm.
