Abstract
BACKGROUND
Large intracranial dissecting aneurysm (IDA) in the anterior cerebral circulation is rare in children. There has been no consensus on the diagnosis and treatment for IDA in children.
CASE SUMMARY
We report a 3-year-old boy with a large ruptured IDA in the right middle cerebral artery (16 mm × 14 mm). The IDA was successfully managed with clipping and angioplasty. Next-generation sequencing of the blood sample followed by bioinformatics analysis suggested that the rs78977446 variant of the ADAMTS13 gene is a risk for pediatric IDA. Three years after surgery, the boy was develop-mentally normal.
CONCLUSION
Clipping and angioplasty are effective treatments for ruptured IDA in the anterior cerebral circulation. ADAMTS13 rs78977446 is a risk factor for pediatric IDA.
Core Tip: The index case was a 3-year-old boy with a large ruptured intracranial dissecting aneurysm in the right middle cerebral artery (16 mm × 14 mm). He was successfully treated by clipping and angioplasty. Whole-genome high-throughput sequencing identified the rs78977446 variant of the ADAMTS13 gene. Bioinformatics analysis using the American College of Medical Genetics guidelines and literature search suggested that this variant is a risk factor for pediatric intracranial dissecting aneurysm.
