Abstract
- Intracranial mycotic aneurysms are secondary to infectious endocarditis, meningoencephalitis, cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis, sinusitis, and bacteremia. Usually mycotic aneurysms are arising on distal cerebral vessels, but rarely on internal carotid artery. We experienced mycotic aneurysm of ICA followed by meningoencephalitis and thrombophlebitis in both cavernous sinuses. We observed occurrence of mycotic aneurysm by sequential image, and good result after endovascular treatment. So we present our case.
