Microsurgical and Endovascular Management of Congenital Iliac Aneurysms in the Neonatal Period: Two Cases and a Literature Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Congenital aneurysms of major arteries are very rare diagnoses and prognosis can be poor if treatment is not initiated rapidly. This is the presentation of two cases of infants with congenital iliac aneurysms who underwent treatment in the neonatal period. The report then proceeds with a literature review of paediatric iliac aneurysms.

Embolisation on day of life (DOL) eight was impossible because of partial thrombosis.
