چکیده
FIG. 1 T2W Coronal Section of Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) Brain showing a flow void in the left internal carotid artery (arrow). The left internal carotid artery appears dilated and ectatic suggestive of fusiform aneurysm of left internal carotid artery. Fusiform dilatation of vessels of circle of Willis to form large aneurysms, termed “Cerebral Aneurysmal Childhood Arteriopathy”, is an exceedingly rare complication of pediatric HIV(1). We report one such case in a 12-year-old-child with WHO clinicalstage-4 HIV disease, who was admitted with complaints of headache and right hemiparesis.
