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.
