Cerebral Ischemia Complicating Intracranial Aneurysm: A Warning Sign of Imminent Rupture?

Patients harboring nongiant cerebral aneurysms may rarely present with an ischemic infarct distal to the aneurysm. The aim of this case series was to report clinical and radiologic characteristics of these patients, their management, and outcome. We undertook a single-center retrospective analysis o...

Summary:Patients harboring nongiant cerebral aneurysms may rarely present with an ischemic infarct distal to the aneurysm. The aim of this case series was to report clinical and radiologic characteristics of these patients, their management, and outcome. We undertook a single-center retrospective analysis of consecutive patients admitted during an 8-year period with an acute ischemic stroke revealing an unruptured nongiant (
