pRIMARY subarachnoid hemorrhage does not often occur in childhood, and an arterial aneurysm as its cause is even more rare. In their series of 1125 intracranial aneurysms compiled from the literature before 1938, McDonald and Korb 9 found 30 children (1.5%), 13 of whom had a mycotic and 17 a true saccular aneurysm. In later published series from different neurosurgical centers the percentage of children has been around 1%. At this hospital, among 688 patients with angiographically verified arterial aneurysms, Laitinen 6 (1962) found nine children (1.3%) under 15 years of age. In Pakarinen's 11 unselected series of 554 patients with primary subarachnoid hemorrhage from the city of Helsinki (1967) 363 had arterial aneurysms but only two were under 10 years. In 1965 Matson 8 published a series comprising 13 children with arterial aneurysms over a 12-year-period, most of whom were successfully operated on. Only a few children from the earlier reports were under 2 years of age, and in most cases the diagnosis was made postmortem. The youngest patient in the series of McDonald and Korb was 18 months. The youngest aneurysm patient ever reported was a boy (Newcomb and Munns 1~ who died at the age of 64 hours from a rupture of an arterial aneurysm on the posterior communicating artery. Forster and Alpers ~ reported the case of an infant who died at 13 weeks from a polycystic disease of the kidneys, and who in addition, had a small, unruptured, arterial aneurysm on the basilar artery. J~inisch 3 reported an 8-week-old infant whose aneurysm proved to be mycotic. Lemmen and SchneideV reported an 8-month-old infant with an intracranial intraventricular aneurysm. Pool and Potts 12 published a report on an 11-month-old infant, and Jane 2 on a 12-month-old boy, the
