Endovascular Managent of Supra and Infra Tentorial Pediatric Intracranial Aneurysms: A Single Center Experience

Abstract

Intracranial aneurysms are rare in pediatric population. They have different pathophysiology, location, type, outcome than adults. Long life expectancy, denovo occurrence and their tendency to recur necessitate the long term follow up in these cases. Here we summarize our experience in treating these aneurysms in a tertiary care hospital from 2014 to 2021. We found 4% of our total aneurysm population to be under 18 years with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. 13.3% patients had multiple aneurysms and 38.9% had posterior circulation aneurysms. Most common site of aneurysm was ICA bifurcation. Most of the patients were treated endovascularly with favorable outcome at follow up.
