Abstract
- Intracranial mycotic aneurysms due to Aspergillus species are extremely uncommon but fatal. A medium-sized ruptured intracranial aneurysm at the middle cerebral artery bifurcation was identified in a 50-year-old female patient. Proper microsurgical clipping was not feasible due to the aneurysm's friable nature. Microsuture and wrapping were done instead. Histological findings confirmed a mycotic aneurysm caused by Aspergillus. Herein, we report on the clinical course and histopathological findings with a relevant literature review.
