Cyanosis and Clipping: Noninfectious Aneurysm in a Patient with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.
Noninfectious cerebral aneurysms are rare in patients with congenital cyanotic heart disease. We present a patient with DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome with a complex congenital cyanotic heart disease with a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The 10-year-old child was managed by surgical clipping of the aneurysm. Surgical challenges included prominent veins in the Sylvian fissure, difficulty in differentiating arterial and venous bleed, and anesthetic risks. The patient recovered without any neurological deficits. This is the first report of a patient with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, with a noninfectious cerebral aneurysm.
