  • Title: True fungal mycotic aneurysm of the basilar artery: a clinical and surgical dilemma.
    Author: Watson JC, Myseros JS, Bullock MR.
    Journal: Cerebrovasc Dis; 1999; 9(1):50-3. PubMed ID: 9873163.
    Abstract:
    Mycotic aneurysms of the intracranial circulation of true fungal etiology are extremely rare and are associated with a very high mortality. We report a case of a fatal aneurysm of the basilar artery secondary to Scedosporium apiospermum infection. The medical and surgical treatments are presented to demonstrate the difficulties associated with these lesions.
