Abstract:
Distal Lenticulostriate aneurysms are uncommon. They occur in a background of Moyamoya disease, vasculitis, collagen vascular disorders or AVMs. A prominent minority is idiopathic as well. Owing to the small caliber and high pressures seen in the lenticulostriate artery, dissections as well as fusiform dilatations are more common than saccular aneurysms. A common presentation of these aneurysms is a spontaneous basal ganglia hematoma with results in hemiplegia and dysphasia (depending upon the side of involvement) with or without obstructive hydrocephalus due to the presence of intraventricular extension of the bleed. Incidental detections of these aneurysms, especially in the pediatric age group are rare, as the diagnosis can only definitely be made on angiography. The detection is made difficult by the presence of concomitant pathologies, such as Moyamoya disease and vasculitis with obscure the imaging required for diagnosis. We present the report of a leniculostriate saccular aneurysm, which presented with acute onset (15 mins) features of raised ICP associated with a hemiparesis. The aneurysm was surgically clipped. The patient had a transient post op hemiplegia, which completely recovered. The report highlights the rarity of the disease, surgical challenges posed and the post op events to be expected and prevented in order for optimal recovery to occur.
