Abstract
- Bacterial intracerebral aneurysms, which are a common complication of infectious endocarditis, are unusual without Osler's disease.From the case report of a man with a bilateral bacterial intracranial aneurysm without endocarditis resulting in an hypopituitarism, we undertook a literature review of bacterial intracerebral aneurysms without endocarditis.Although this review has found few cases, this kind of aneurysms seems to have different features from those secondary to infective endocarditis: younger age of incidence, majority of Staphylococcus aureus, clinical presentation as a thrombophlebitis of the cavernous sinus, location of aneurysm on bigger cerebral artery.
